Another thinkpad issue, this one more serious: when I suspend to ram, my
Thinkpad T440s sometimes has a serious power malfunction. While suspend
generally succeeds, at some point the pulsing power light on the lid
goes out and it’s no longer possible to power on the laptop. I have to
open the lid, disconnect the internal bettery, and generally also hit
the internal power reset button. I can then restart, but of course lose
all my work. At first this happened about once a month, then once a
week, and now it happens several times a day.

<ol class=""><li>Anyone else having this issue? And do you know what actually causes
it, and if it can be fixed? I’ve searched online and there are various
threads about it, but I haven’t found any actionable information.
Recently updated my BIOS and changed some BIOS settings, but to no
apparent effect.</li><li>As a workarond, I’ve just switched from suspend-to-ram to hybrid
suspend, which writes an image to disk before suspending to ram. (Took
me a long time to do this, because I had no swap partition & my main
partition was encrypted, so I had to resize the encrypted partition,
ettc.) This seems to work! Yay! However, suspend-to-disk is really slow.
In the old days I used Txonice for hibernaion, but that project has
really slowed down in the last few years. Is anyone still using it? How
about uswsusp? Is either one compatible with the systemd hibernation
commands? My experience with tuxonice was that it was abot 5 times
faster than native hibernation, so I’d really like to compress the disk
image</li></ol>

Thanks again!
