Hibernate on Ubuntu (18.04) - s2disk working, but KDE buttons not

  • 772

Summary

I can hibernate my system using s2disk, but not when using pm-hibernate or any KDE button. In latter case the system boots like it was a normal shutdown. s2disk works, but when resuming I unfortunately have no password prompt.

Specs (though I had same issues on 17.10)

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Release:        18.04
Codename:       bionic
Linux 4.15.0-20-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 24 06:16:15 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Question

How can I either tell Kubuntu to use s2disk for hibernation, or tell pm-hibernate to use s2disk (assuming that this is the correct way).

kubuntu hibernate

    How I could solve this issue:

    As mentioned in my comment, I had to set the content of /sys/power/state to be disk.

    sudo nano /sys/power/state

    Insert disk. Then - for what reasons ever - the (at least mine) system goes to hibernate, and comes back directly.

    Then I checked `settings --> Desktop Behaviour --> Activation --> "Lock screen on resume".

    After that I've installed kscreenlocker-dev

    sudo apt install kscreenlocker-dev

    Once restarted, I could click on KDE's hibernate button and resume - including a password prompt - pretty fine.
