I can't get Hibernate to work on Ubuntu 18.04, I tried following these tutorials and after all the steps below hibernate still acts as a normal reboot.:

Github - gnome-shell-extension-hibernate-status

Askubuntu: Hibernation in 18.04

System:

ASUS N580VD with 16GB of ram and 20GB swap

├─sda4  117,9G  Microsoft basic data
├─sda5     20G  Linux swap
└─sda6    100G  Linux filesystem

Did these commands:

sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
sudo update-grub

I also installed gnome-shell-extension-hibernate-status. Any help would really be apreciated!

EDIT 1: Not only doesn't hibernate work, also my boot time from cold boot became incredibly slow!!

    There is no need to add Solved in the title. Just accept the answer which solved the problem (after 2 days of posting the question if answered by you). – Kulfy Jan 02 '19 at 08:49

there is a package that you can use easily to hibernate,
open the terminal and write sudo apt install hibernate , it will ask you some questions and then you can hibernate using sudo hibernate

  • Haha, thanks for letting me know! I'll remember for the future! It's working now, and if it aint broke don't fix it! – Denisuu Jan 03 '19 at 10:52
  • Is there a way to get the system to lock upon hibernation as well? This is the only method to hibernate I've found that works, but it leaves the computer insecure since it doesn't require a password to log back in – MathTrain Nov 05 '19 at 18:39
