Been using Linux Lite for a good few months now, and I love pretty much everything about it! The only problem I haven't been able to fix is hibernate issues. Anytime I got to hibernate, no session data is actually saved, I just boot back up as if I had fully shutdown the laptop.
I haven't found many other people sharing this problem, so I'm not sure if it just might be a hardware issue. I noticed that LL didn't make a swap partition when I first installed it, though from what I understand Ubuntu moved away from that towards swap files, so that might not be an issue.
Computer Information:
Dell Inspiron 11-3168
Pentium CPU, 4gb RAM, 120GB SSD

Hi,
A question for you; Does it do the same thing if you CHOOSE hibernate from the shutdown menu?
Oh, and if you had another OS, did the hibernate work?
Cheers!

Yup, regardless of whether I choose hibernate and regardless of whether I check or don't check the "save session for future logins", it doesn't change and I just get a normal reboot.
I had Windows before, and hibernate worked fine, would just close the laptop and it would hibernate itself after about 20 mins.
I have noticed that some apps seem to be lacking some kinda of recovery files that they expected to have, like Firefox always saying "we couldn't restore your tabs", focuswriter always saying that it coudln't pull up the last session, etc.

Use Suspend if you want to resume your work. At the end of the day, both save into low power mode but Suspend is more reliable as it uses ram, just make sure you have plenty of it (ram).

Yeah, I was doing that for a bit. The big reason I stopped is because I'll shut my laptop after class/when I need to move to a new place, forget to take it back out/get caught up in something else, then I won't open my laptop all day and by tomorrow it will be dead. Plus it was nice not having to worry about charging it every new time I opened it, cause after like 4 hours suspend has eaten a good chunk of battery.
