Hibernation support on encrypted install

[thomas-zimmerman]

Distribution (run cat /etc/os-release): Should work on all supported releases of Pop!OS

Issue/Bug Description: Hibernation is not currently enabled on Pop!OS given partition layout, use of a non persistent encryption key on swap, and the additional drive IO used on solid state drives. This is a requested feature where intermittent use of suspend uses a significant percentage of the overall battery. Depending on memory size of the system and size of NVMe/SSD drive, hibernation could add notable delay on resuming a hibernation session and wear out the OS drive prematurely.

Steps to convert a encrypted install to enable hibernation:

• Boot into OS recovery : https://support.system76.com/articles/pop-recovery
• Use gparted swapoff and than remove the swap partition. Extend the luks partition to end of drive
• Manually setup encryption:

  sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/vda3 cryptdata
  sudo lvscan
  sudo vgchange -ay

• Reduce the size of the root volume by the size of main memory:

  free -h
  sudo lvreduce -r -L-16G /dev/mapper/data-root

• Create the swap volume:

  sudo lvcreate -L 16G --alloc contiguous --name swap data
  sudo mkswap /dev/data/swap

• Mount the root filesystem and edit crypttab and fstab to update for the new swap location:

  sudo mount /dev/mapper/data-root /mnt
  sudo nano /mnt/etc/crypttab
  sudo nano /mnt/etc/fstab

  

• Add a resume target for the kernel:

  sudo kernelstub -a "resume=UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx"

  

• Add this Gnome-Shell extension : Hibernate Status Button
• For Pop!OS and Ubuntu, we also require a file at /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/com.ubuntu.desktop.pkla with content of:

  
  [Enable hibernate in upower]
  Identity=unix-user:*
  Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate
  ResultActive=yes

[Enable hibernate in logind] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate;org.freedesktop.login1.handle-hibernate-key;org.freedesktop.login1;org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate-multiple-sessions;org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate-ignore-inhibit ResultActive=yes

`sudo nano /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/com.ubuntu.pkla`

**Expected behavior:**
This should allow you to have a hibernate option from the power menu.

**Other Notes:**
You can test if hibernation works on your system: `sudo systemctl hibernate`. Hibernation, if used often, will add a decent amount of additional write traffic on solid state drives.

This looks like a guide (and is well-written.) Would this be something to have a support doc for, or is it here as a feature request to have this configured out-of-the-box?

[thomas-zimmerman]

Carl asked me to document this as I got this working on an lemp9. I think this would be something that we may want to build in as out-of-box use. We likely will be turning this into a support article to cover for users that want to enable this when hibernation would be a better fit for their use case.

I plan on creating a support article on this today or tomorrow. :)

Can also confirm that we've got this working on the Oryx 6, and my Oryx 1.
