Hibernation Problems

[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. (again, I got all of those errors before and after the update, so that's not the problem)

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 after posting in the linux subforum didn't help at all)

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)

Sorry but I have to ask the obvious... do you have a swap partition that's large enough to store the amount of currently used RAM?

Shoot. You know, I've been working with computers since I could crawl. Everyone has their dumb moments, right?

 

I didn't create a swap partition because I don't like how linux (or windows for that matter) manage the 'swappyness', and I was in a hurry to create this so I just forwent any swap.

 

Now that you have alerted me to my silly mistake I will have it fixed immediately. Thank you lol
