I'm glad I took your advice. I installed 16.04 LTS, erasing everything else on the drive. It automatically made a swap partition the size of my RAM. I installed nothing else, ran "sudo pm-hibernate" and it worked, perfectly. Yes! I also turned on hibernation in the "Log Out" menu, and it also worked perfectly. So I'm set -- I'm sticking with 16.04 LTS. Thanks all. Mike Glad everything worked out :-) On Fri, Jun 30, 2017 at 9:02 PM, Rog <linux....@gmail.com> wrote: > I guess maybe I should eat my own words.
