From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why doesn't Ubuntu support encrypted hibernate out of the box? (lemmy.nowsci.com)

I've never had an issue once its set up. Just a 16GB LUKS partition alongside my normal LUKS partition, a small edit to /etc/crontab so I only have to enter the password once, set the RESUME variable, add to fstab, and rebuild init. This method even works with suspend-then-hibernate on every laptop I've used it with.

This would take 5 seconds at install time, but instead you have to install, reboot to the live USB, shrink LV, shrink PV, shrink LUKS, shrink partition, repartition, grow LUKS, grow PV, grow LV, and finally set up the swap partition as above.

Am I the only one? Does anyone else use encrypted drives and hibernate?

What do you mean by «support»? In my Debian install I created an encrypted partition + LVM and I can hibernate without issue. I believe Ubuntu has an install option for encryption, so I think it should also work.

Full hibernate? Hybrid with power might work, but if the battery dies the default way doesn't work.
