This folder contains user services for systemd to use. Each service can be
enabled/disabled/started/stopped using systemctl --user.
To have services run independent of your login, the following command must be run to allow that:
loginctl enable-linger
Before configuring hibernation, first create and enable a /swapfile big enough
for memory.
This can be done automatically using hibernator.
For example creating a 16 gigabyte swap file:
sudo pacman -Syu hibernator hibernator 16G
Take a look at /etc/default/grub:GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to ensure it
makes sense before rebooting.
To see and edit the system action when e.g. lid close, open the file
/etc/systemd/logind.conf.
For example edit relevant line so that you have:
HandleLidSwitch=suspend-then-hibernate
will ensure that closing the lid on battery will trigger suspend first, and hibernation after a while.
Finally, the file user/lock.service can be used to trigger code on
re-entry, typically lock-screen and screen refresh in awesome.
This service needs to be used as system level process to work:
sudo cp ~/.config/systemd/user/lock.service /etc/systemd/system/lock.service systemctl enable lock.service
