LMDE Cinnamon user here. There's a setting in the power options that tells the computer to switch to hibernate if it remains in suspend for a certain amount of time. Hibernated computers suspend to disk rather than RAM and are basically switched off, so need to POST to come back online.
It took me a while to find that setting, and it might be the same case with whatever you're using.
What's more, it only took effect if I used the GUI to put the computer into suspend mode. I usually use a keyboard combo to suspend the computer at night, but occasionally I'd use the GUI and come back in the morning to a hibernated computer.
Thought I'd been taking crazy pills or that there was something wrong.
My main gripes are that inconsistency between suspend methods and also that there's no setting for how long to stay in suspend before hibernating. I have no idea if that's a UEFI thing or something that could be set elsewhere, but I'd probably use that feature if I could set it.
As it is I'm giving the hybrid option a try. Basically it suspends like normal, but also sets up a hibernated restart for if the power goes out. That hasn't happened yet, so can only assume it'll work when the time comes.
Late edit: The delay between suspend and hibernate is set in
/etc/systemd/sleep.confwith the settingHibernateDelaySec=. Manual page reading is required, but even so, this feature is not well documented there or out on the Internet.There may be syntax available to specify other units of time with a suffix. For example, my computer's related
SuspendEstimationSec=option is given as60minin the example and not3600.Pull the plug on your computer sometime to try it out?
Yeah, I really should. I'll have a piece of hardware to install soon, so I might test it before I do that. Gotta switch off anyway so might as well.
