Configuration

HP Compaq 8510w

Follow the steps outlined in Suspend and hibernate#Hibernation. The suspend to disk process works correctly but the laptop does not power itself off. To fix this create the following file:

/etc/systemd/system/sleep.conf
[Sleep]
HibernateMode=shutdown

This file tells Systemd to write shutdown instead of platform to /sys/power/disk before writing disk to /sys/power/state.
