Solved Weird issue with Hibernation

I could get my system to hibernate earlier on my laptop using
sudo acpiconf -s 3

Somehow when I upgraded the system on my desktop - it doesn't work anymore.

Instead of saving ram to disk, it turns off earlier (doesn't switch off though) but when I try to get it up from sleep - the screen is blank.

Not sure where to start to debug this, would appreciate any guidance
 
S3 sleep state is suspend to ram (STR). Supported by FreeBSD, but there are some bugs/resume breakers.
S4 sleep state (suspend to disk, STD) is not supported by FreeBSD.
If you list your hardware and system configuration details, it might be possible to identify the resume breaker.

Hibernation works with a dedicated partition. This is independent from OS via ACPI, though. Suspend to disk via OS (suspend to swap) never worked from my limited experiences.
If you list your hardware and system configuration details, it might be possible to identify the resume breaker.

Do you mean the dmesg output? Here it is

Then please make sure it is up to date: pkg update -F, then pkg upgrade -f graphics/drm-fbsd12.0-kmod (edited later to explicitely force that specific package). That DRM KMS module must match the kernel version it was built for; when 12.2 was new, we had to built it ourselves from ports(7), because the version in the packages was built for 12.1. Theoretically that should match, but unfortunately there've been minor kernel API changes, so that 12.1-REL module could not run on 12.2-REL.

Not related to the issue: it is commonly accepted policy to keep loader.conf(5) as minimal as possible, i.e. load only kernel modules that are needed to boot the BeaSD, and set only those sysctl(8) knobs that can't be set @runtime.
if_rtwn_load="YES"
fuse_load="YES"
coretemp_load="YES"
These could go into rc.conf(5):
foreach mod (rtwn fusefs coretemp)
sysrc kld_list+=" $mod"
end

rc.conf
#Original for laptop
wlans_iwn0="wlan0"
ntpd_enable="YES"
You don't need both. ntpdate(8) will be retired "soon", but for now you can either use that or sysrc ntpd_flags+=" -q". You could also run ntpd -q from crontab(5) or anacrontab(5) daily, if your box has long uptime(1)s.
#webcamd_enale="YES"
Typo. BL BL BL.
coretemp_enable="YES"
fuse_enable="YES"
*_enable in rc.conf(5) is to enable services. Kernel modules go into kld_list, or into *_load in loader.conf(5) if it's needed to boot or it's reasonable to have it very early, e.g. CPU microcode updates; additionally, some modules don't work correct when loaded @runtime, e.g. filemon(4).
ifconfig_alc0="DHCP"
How many different WiFi chips are built into your box?
kdm4_enable="YES"
That's long gone. You could use x11/slim or x11/sddm. Don't know which DE is your favourite, maybe GNOME/MATE has it's own.
loader.conf
kern.vty=vt
Not needed, it's default.

These are good instructions from Mjölnir !

You have *plenty* of stuff in your config.
I'd generally suggest to first disable the DM. These are most fickle regarding successful resume.
If disabling the DM doesn't fix the issue, disable/uncomment all the stuff including networking.

In regard to KDM I have to add that KDE has been ported to FreeBSD, but has not really been integrated.
For example, KDE menu shows "hibernate", which obviously does not work.
This means, it has not been adapted to FreeBSD's way of suspend/resume, and will fail and frustrate the user.
Thus, bad UX is inevitable (POLA violation).

You want to verify step-by-step that resuming works.
So test, enable one after the next module, suspend/resume a few times, going on to enable the next module, after your tests showed that the computer resumes well.
Then you will easily identify the module that breaks resume.
 
And I totally forgot: There're some sysctl(8) knobs for i915kms.ko drm-kms(7) that could affect suspend/resume. I have in loader.conf(5)
Code:
#
# System tunables/sysctl(8) knobs.  Please keep sorted to avoid duplicates.
#
# INTEL DRM WITH graphics/drm-kmod PACKAGE (NEW)
compat.linuxkpi.enable_rc6="7"  # ENABLE POWER SAVING RENDER C-STATE 6
compat.linuxkpi.enable_dc="2"   # ENABLE POWER SAVING DISPLAY C-STATES
compat.linuxkpi.enable_fbc="1"  # ENABLE FRAME BUFFER COMPRESSION FOR POWER SAVINGS

compat.linuxkpi.i915_nuclear_pageflip="1"

And IIRC the 1st two are not good for older GPUs. I have

So it turns out - that all of my settings and drivers were fine - it was a problem that a new version of freebsd had introduced . This is the thread that pointed to issue with the drm-fbsd12.0-kmod driver . The simple solution was

sudo pkg install -f drm-fbsd12.0-kmod

That's it.

I was actually considering to stop using Freebsd simply because of this issue that was plaguing me for months - hope the team can take care of such things for the future. While I love to stick to Freebsd , I can totally understand someone not being able to find the time to fix such issue.

Sooo happy I can finally get my system to hibernate instead of switching it off :D

Thanks for the help guys - will tidy up my loader/rc files :)
