[SOLVED]Hibernate doesn't work

[parotta36]

I'm using Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya and hibernate doesn't work. It worked perfectly when i used Serena.
I searched the web a lot and tried modified, even after which it doesn't seem to work. This really bugs me as I used to hibernate a lot.
Kernel: 4.8.0-53-generic x86_64 (64 bit gcc: 5.4.0)
Desktop: Cinnamon 3.4.3 (Gtk 3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3)
Distro: Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya
The output of free is,

Swap:       8294396           0     8294396

I added the line to /etc/fstab

I also added the UUID at /etc/default/grub in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line

Code: Select all

# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="resume=UUID=/dev/disk/by-uuid/ef5f7645-b3c9-4fe8-876d-c125e5fb84ca"

# Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs

# the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD ...)

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console

# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true

# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
#GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

# Uncomment to get a beep at grub start
GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"

I also updated using update-grub after changing the line at /etc/default/grub.

This bit looks wrong to me...
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="resume=UUID=/dev/disk/by-uuid/ef5f7645-b3c9-4fe8-876d-c125e5fb84ca"
...the kernel "root=" equivalent would be...
root=UUID=ef5f7645-b3c9-4fe8-876d-c125e5fb84ca
...or...
root=LABEL=rootski
..or...
root=/dev/sdb7
...so I am guessing your GRUB line should be...
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="resume=UUID=ef5f7645-b3c9-4fe8-876d-c125e5fb84ca"
...or...
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/ef5f7645-b3c9-4fe8-876d-c125e5fb84ca"

(Serena used 4.4 kernel by default) Seems like I had an issue with suspend with some of the 4.8 kernels; try either a later kernel (4.10 worked for me) or go back to 4.4 (what I eventually switched back to). That is, assuming your resume settings are correct. Also, check the file /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume

@Mute Ant. Thanks, it worked for me.
