Linux Mint XFCE Help

[Gas_Mask_]

So I'm running LM XFCE 18.1 (just upgraded). Every time I try to hibernate it doesn't work. (Had this problem since before the update, so that has nothing to do with it.)

So I've tried multiple different kernels to try and fix it, and nothing. The usual things that happen when I try to hibernate are: my pc will just shut off, it will sort of hibernate, then when i wake it up either freeze and then restart or just kernel panic, just straight kernel panic, it just locks the screen instead, it will just shut off, or it will restart.

I need hibernate for certain things, so this is a problem.

(Pardon me if this is not the place to post this, I couldn't think of anywhere better (and people have gotten mad at me for double posting before))

P.S. I'm running of a USB drive if that helps. (not a live disk, I actually have LM installed and running off a flash drive)

Is there enough space on the flash drive to store all hibernation data?

I'm not sure how much data that exactly would be (I assume not a whole lot though, because it's just a ram dump (and I've got 8gb of ram)), but I'm running off a 32gb usb, with over half of it free.

Realized I had no swap partition... Even the experienced make dumb mistakes sometimes right? I mean common, we're on the Linus Tech Tips forum
