Ubuntu Hibernation Issue

[BrownZeus]

Hi friends,

 

So I have a ThinkPad x230, I have Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on it.

When the computer wakes from Hibernation it appears to fail outright. The screen will come one, I can see grub for a moment, and then black screen, even when left alone for a moment.

 

I recently reinstalled Ubuntu, and before I reinstalled it, hibernation was working just fine. So idk what changed, cause its a clean install.

 

Any advice?

 

Thanks in advance

I've had the same issue with Linux Mint 18.3. Is the only fix (temporary) to force restart the device?

Yeah I did that just to get back to working on my assignments, but I'd really to get hibernation going. I'm rushing around a lot and I'd rather my system not sip power in sleep mode. I do most of my work online so there were times where I leave my laptop alone for whole weeks and i come to find my laptop is dead. I had it setup so that when I close my lid it goes into hibernation.

Hibernation issues can be really hairy on Linux.

 

It all boils down to proprietary hw and binary (closed source) drivers. My bet would be the GPU, but that is not the only possibility. It is quite probable there exists a workaround, but it will be hw and distro specific. You might get better help from Ubuntu specific forums.

 

If you want to solve this here, post the output of 'inxi -Fxz', 'lspci' and 'lsusb' here to start.
