Hibernate in Ubuntu 18.04

Question

I know this question has already been asked but none of those methods worked for me. I tried

sudo systemctl hibernate

but it shuts down my pc. I know this means hibernate isn't supported but I could hibernate on this pc itself on Ubuntu 16.04 before i upgraded to 18.04. So I'm pretty sure that hibernate is supported.

$ swapon --summary

Filename                Type        Size    Used    Priority
/dev/sda6                               partition   4194300 0   -2

Do you have a swap file or a swap partition setup to allow for hibernation? Edit your question and include the output of swapon -s. Thank you! — Terrance, Jul 28 '18 at 21:20
Hibernation involves the system shutting down and turning off, though it should look different from the usual shutdown process. If you get a clean boot when you switch on again, you may need to set a kernel parameter for resume. See How can I hibernate on Ubuntu 16.04? — Zanna, Jul 30 '18 at 09:45
On my 18.04 Hibernation is grayed out - Suspend seems to work all right, I have a swap file a bit larger than the ram! — Ken Mollerup, Aug 09 '18 at 17:46

I installed this app but it just went black for a few seconds and then the screen came back.not even power down. Nothing accomplished. – Bhikkhu Subhuti May 30 '19 at 18:21
Same happened to me - i.e. got stuck on black screen and pc was unresponsive to all inputs - had to resort to long push-down-on-Power-button to reboot. Hmmmmm – Duncan Sep 30 '20 at 10:38
