Bug#987503: swap partition only 1 GB instead of at least 1 x RAM size

(...) Hibernation works just fine on all of my modern x86_64 machines when the swap space is sufficient. Could you elaborate on why you believe it doesn't? I am interested too. The only restriction I am aware of is that hibernation is currently disabled when UEFI secure boot is enabled (until the hibernation image can be validated with the TPM, IIRC). Has secure boot become mandatory on all modern x86 machines ? My most recent one is 10 years old, I'm afraid it does not qualify as "modern". I agree that in many cases swap causes degraded performance for modern systems. Can you explain why unused swap space causes degraded performance ? I mean, how does 8 GB unused swap is different from 1 GB unused swap ? It was my naive understanding that performance was affected by swap activity, not swap size.

Implying that Debian now only supports "modern" hardware matching that definition? Sorry, your argument is void. Hibernation works. Except on Debian, where x86 laptop users without "modern" hardware don't count. They should probably know better and just use some other distro? Bjørn

I confirm that all Greek characters with their accent appear normally. It's the end of seven+ years of pain! Thank you very much!
Cross-compiling Busybox debian package
Dear Debian Mentors and Busybox Deb maintainers, This is my first debian package compilation :) I'm trying to cross compile the busybox deb package (ADM64 -> ARM64). After reading a bit of doc on the compilation I do the following steps: dpkg --add-architecture arm64 apt build-dep -aarm64 -y busybox apt source busybox cd busybox-1.35.0 export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck debuild --host-arch arm64 -b --no-sign You can find the complete step on my github repo: https://github.com/clementperon/busybox-ubnt-build/blob/main/.github/workflows/default.yml#L37-L71 But I got the following errors: dpkg-shlibdeps: error: cannot find library libresolv.so.2 needed by debian/busybox/bin/busybox (ELF format: 'elf64-littleaarch64' abi: '020100b7'; RPATH: '') 2474dpkg-shlibdeps: error: cannot find library libc.so.6 needed by debian/busybox/bin/busybox (ELF format: 'elf64-littleaarch64' abi: '020100b7'; RPATH: '') 2475dpkg-shlibdeps: error: cannot find library ld-linux-aarch64.so.1 needed by debian/busybox/bin/busybox (ELF format: 'elf64-littleaarch64' abi: '020100b7'; RPATH: '') 2476 The arm64 shared libs are stored in '/usr/aarch64-linux-gnu/lib/libc.so.6' I tried to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/aarch64-linux-gnu/lib But it didn't help :( Do you have any idea what I'm missing ? Thanks for your help, BR, Clement
