Linux newbie here! I recently installed Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
on my system.
Now I'm aware that hibernate
is not enabled by default, so I followed these steps to enable the hibernate
option. Some answers on this site also suggested increasing the swap file size, so I increased it to 15.0 GB
. My system has 8.0 GB
of RAM
The Situation:
After the above steps, normally I'm able to hibernate if I have only a few applications running, like in the screenshot below (I use Portrait orientation):
The Issue:
My issue is that, if I have resource intensive programs running, eg. Visual Studio Code
, Webstorm IDE
or even Sublime Text
, then upon hibernation, all that happens is that the screen goes off for a few seconds and shows me back the login screen. In essence, it just turns back on instead of going into hibernate. When I login, the applications are still running; its almost as if I just locked my screen and logged in again.
So every time I need to hibernate, I have to close these programs and then hibernate, which really defeats the purpose of hibernating in the first place.
Could anyone suggest a solution / areas of investigation?
