The fix

Edit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume:

RESUME=/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1

Edit /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash resume=/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1"

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

logind.conf

HandleSuspendKey=hibernate
HandleLidSwitch=hybrid-sleep

with LVM full-disk encryption

is your /boot not encrypted though?

This works on 20.04 as well, but I had to boot from Live USB to shrink root and extend swap_1 first.

Good guide, thanks. Worked fine on my Ubuntu 20.10.

Some juggling required to get the swap partition to the same size as the memory:

this works using arch linux as well

Anyone know if this works on Ubuntu 22.04? Also, I'm new to Linux, can anyone translate some of the commands up top, ie. can you go through what needs to be done in the steps above to set up my machine to do this?

@davidhackn for me 20.04 and 22.04 did not require to do anything at all to have hibernation working (I install ubuntu's using this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Full_Disk_Encryption_Howto_2019)

ps: gnight :-D

I suspect that all data in memory will be saved to disk unencrypted. then why would you need to encrypt the entire disk? for safety? this way you save all the RAM in unencrypted form... for safety?..
