How I fixed hibernation in Ubuntu 24.04

Initially I installed Ubuntu 18.04 and easily enabled the hibernation feature. Later I upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 without any issues. But latest upgrading to 24.04 almost made me giving up Ubuntu as I tried hard and could not enable the hibernation feature again.

Here I will share how I fixed the hibernation issue in Ubuntu without giving up.

Enable hibernation n Ubuntu 18.04

systemctl hibernate
Failed to hibernate system via logind: Sleep verb not supported
Perhaps the error should be: Failed to hibernate system via logind: Please use BIOS to disable secure boot.

Disable swapfile and delete it

sudo swapoff /swapfile
sudo rm /swapfile

Auto hibernate after timeout

https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2021/06/automatic-shutdown-hibernate-on-idle-ubuntu/

Shortcut key does not work but works in terminal with pwd

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.login1 /org/freedesktop/login1 org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.Hibernate boolean:true
dbus-send --system --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.login1 /org/freedesktop/login1 org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.Hibernate boolean:true

Set the timeout value:

  • https://man.archlinux.org/man/sleep.conf.d.5

    /etc/systemd/sleep.conf

24.04 hibernation issues

After hibernation, the laptop will immediately wake up to the login screen.

Solution:

  • after hibernation failed, quickly check log:

    journalctl --since "3 minutes ago" | grep -i "hiber"
journalctl -p err -b | grep -i "power|hiber|swap"
journalctl -p crit -b | grep -i "power|hiber|swap"

  • found the message Wakeup event detected during hibernation, rolling back

  • based on the message search online and found: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/2057687

  • there are many worked solutions. #18 solved my issue as well.

  • 18: add the line blacklist intel_hid to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and then run

    sudo update-grub
sudo update-initramfs -c -k all
