I want to install TuxOnIce on my Debian/Windows dual-boot Laptop because I can't get pm-hibernate to work properly. Following some tutorials, I have done the following things:

Added the TuxOnIce ppa: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:tuxonice/ppa. It seems to work, but after confirming with enter I get the following error:

gpg: keybox '/tmp/tmp2dbcfl9z/pubring.gpg' created
gpg: /tmp/tmp2dbcfl9z/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
gpg: key DAC45EC9DEC8FAAC: public key "Launchpad PPA for TuxOnIce" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1

Updating with sudo apt-get update now shows a list of items that is way longer than before. Most of them start with http://ppa.launchpad.net/tuxonice/ppa/ubuntu bionic/main which is curious because I don't have Ubuntu and I have read that Ubuntu packages are not really compatible with Debian. Some links get a 404 error, but most of them work. Again, the output ends with some error:

Reading package lists... Done
W: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/tuxonice/ppa/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
E: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/tuxonice/ppa/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Install the application with sudo apt-get install tuxonice-userui linux-generic-tuxonice linux-headers-generic-tuxonice. The package tuxonice-userui is already installed, but it can't find the other ones:

E: Unable to locate package linux-generic-tuxonice

  • Hibernate features should be available by default on Debian 9, and you should be able to hibernate using the regular Gnome menus or keyboard shortcuts. Is there some reason that's leading you to believe you need to install extra software in order to support hibernation?

    Sadly, the default hibernate under Debian does not work, the system always freezes with a black screen when resuming. I already had this problem under Ubuntu on that same machine and TuxOnIce solved it, so I thought I could try this again under Debian. I don't care how, I just want some working hibernate. The documentation you linked hasn't been updated to Stretch too by the way

  • TuxOnIce : # apt-get install tuxonice-userui packages.debian.org/… Commented Jan 24, 2018 at 18:13

    The tuxonice-userui package wires TuxOnIce into Debian 9's normal sleep/hibernate framework, so all Debian 9's normal ways to hibernate should then use TuxOnIce if it's actually usable. But to make it usable, you'll need the TuxOnIce kernel patch, and there is no pre-packaged DKMS version of the patch in Debian 9, so you'll have to build your own TuxOnIce-patched kernel.
