Bookworm Installer and Hibernate

[Rainer Dorsch <ml@bokomoko.de>]

Hello,

I installed a new system (16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD) with the bookworm installer, 
took the guided disk partitioning and selected use full disk with single 
partition (which is I think recommended for beginners in the installer). With 
that setup hibernate does not seem to work reliably, if e.g. 4 GB of the RAM 
are used, hibernate does not work anymore. I think it is because the installer 
created a swap partition on 1 GB in size. For me that seems ways to small to 
make hibernate work. I remember in the early Linux days the recommendation was 
swap partition size = 2x RAM size, here

https://wiki.debian.org/de/Hibernate

is says for hibernation, swap should be half the RAM size.

I would have expected that for an installation recommended for beginners, the 
basic features like hibernate would work, but the usage of the resources (SSD) 
might not be optimal (e.g. with a larger swap partition that needed for a 
tailored setup). I might miss something though on how the user/beginner should 
make hibernate work in bookworm.

For me it is easy to reinstall an create a bigger swap partition. I understand 
from the page above another option might be to create a swap file 

https://wiki.debian.org/Hibernation?action=show&redirect=Hibernate

(although that the page starts with references to Debian Lenny and Jessie 
raise some doubts if that still is the way to go).

Any hint or feedback is welcome, in particular if it is an issue where to 
report it, that this gets improved.

Thanks
Rainer
