Hibernation in Linux / LXQT

Hibernation using LXQT power manager worked after following the steps in this blog.

Also, this resource is useful to associate hibernate action to the power button.

Later, I switched to Xfce window manager and the steps already done above worked well with it too.

Xfce Screensaver/LockScreen Issue

Xfce' screensaver invokes a lock screen which doesn't allow a login. So I had to remove it and install sudo apt-get install i3 and use the i3lock program and remove the xfce screensaver with sudo apt-get remove xfce4-screensaver. Removing the screensaver was necessary. I changed Settings Editor > xfce4-session > LockCommand to i3lock -c 11511.

Starting Ubuntu in terminal mode

Now I have started opening ubuntu in terminal mode and then start startxfce4 if needed and keep putting the system to hibernate to save current work and boot time. I needed to change the /etc/default/grub and set the default boot target to multi-user.target using systemctl. (Ref: https://askubuntu.com/a/859637)
