Suspend on Ubuntu 18.04 #594

Hi,

I've recently installed Ubuntu on the Surface Laptop 2, followed the guide for the kernel and... I agreed to swap suspend and hibernate.

By editing systemd-logind.service I was experimenting with the closed lid action moving between suspend and hibernate options but found no difference. Closing lid always gets Ubuntu powered off.

Is there a way to get it working? Either suspend or hibernate.

I'd appreciate any advice or suggestons. Thanks

Well, the replacement on the script makes it so when you set something to 'suspend', it acts as if it was set to 'hibernate' instead - thus your attempts to change the settings don't matter (IMHO, that's why this a bad way to replace suspend with hibernate - much better to simply use the settings).

So if you want to use suspend, first you need to undo the replacement with sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/suspend.target /etc/systemd/system/systemd-suspend.service.

Once you do that, suspend should work out of the box. Hibernate is more complex to set up, but it's not surface-specific problem, and there are enough guides online about hibernate on Ubuntu.
