When I use the command sudo systemctl hibernate, the system seems to go to hibernation, but when restarted, it is a fresh start without any of the previous windows that were left open.

And when I tried sudo pm-hibernate it says sudo: pm-hibernate: command not found.

Here is my drive configuration if that helps:

/dev/sda = SSD with Windows 10 only (Windows C drive and the reserved partition).

/dev/sdb = HDD with NTFS and EXT4 partitions containing regular data only, no OS here currently.

/dev/sdc = SSD (GPT partition) with Ubuntu 18.04 (/ partition), swap area and a shared NTFS game drive.

GRUB is installed on /dev/sda.

EDIT: I created a new parition table on /dev/sdc using msdos instead of GPT. Then I reinstalled Ubuntu and installed GRUB on /dev/sdc. After these changes, sudo hibernate seems to be working.

ANOTHER EDIT: Because sudo hibernate seems to go to hibernation without locking the screen (i.e. anyone could turn on the PC and automatically be logged in), I added this line to /etc/sudoers (cln is my username):

cln ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/hibernate

and made this executable script:

#!/bin/bash

xdg-screensaver lock
sudo hibernate

Now I am able to just double-click on this script, select Run, and directly go to hibernation while also locking the screen. Much more comfortable.

This instruction worked for my Ubuntu 18.04 installation.

  1. sudo apt install hibernate It will install hibernate and other dependencies which are needed to hibernate

  2. grep swap /etc/fstab (find UUID)

  3. sudoedit /etc/default/grub At the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" add UUID of swap.

    The line looks like this

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash resume=UUID=<UUID of swap>"

    You can choose

    `quiet splash` will hide the boot screen output

    splash will display the boot screen output

  4. sudo update-grub

  5. Restart, and after restart sudo systemctl hibernate. If everything works ok add menu entry's.

  6. sudo gedit /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla now paste this:

[Re-enable hibernate by default in upower] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate ResultActive=yes [Re-enable hibernate by default in logind] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate;org.freedesktop.login1.handle-hibernate-key;org.freedesktop.login1;org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate-multiple-sessions;org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate-ignore-inhibit ResultActive=yes

  1. Restart the computer
  2. Install https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/755/hibernate-status-button/

  • Tried till step 5. Not working. The GRUB line is this:

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1 resume=<UUID>"

    Is there anything wrong with this, or need I use the exact line you said (with quiet splash)?

    Also, this is shown when used grep swap /etc/fstab:

    # swap was on /dev/sdb2 during installation

    Is that anything to be concerned about?

  • Update: I tried with quiet splash resume=<UUID> instead, but still didn't work. – CluelessNoob Oct 27 '18 at 11:13
  • My grub 
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash resume=UUID=32564c12-47c9-449c-8fe3-d4ce2e170803"

    My fstab:

    # swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=32564c12-47c9-449c-8fe3-d4ce2e170803 none            swap    sw

This thread didn't solve my problem. I had to add pci=nomsi just before resume=.

take a look at this: Ubuntu 16.04 doesn't hibernate
