I've just rebuilt a laptop with xubuntu 18.04. I'm having issues getting hibernation to work, swapfile has been increased to slightly more than the 6GB of memory installed, and seems to be available: 

swapon -s

Filename                Type        Size    Used    Priority 

/swapfile                               file        6655996 1992    -2

When I try and hibernate I see the following messages on screen:

PM: Cannot find swap device, try swapon -a  
PM: Cannot get swap writer

The syslog entries before that seem to suggest hibernation was going going OK up to then. 

etc/default/grub contains:  
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

Any words of wisdom gratefully received...

I successfully solved exactly the same problem via the link The only one thing

# systemctl hibernate

does not work, instead use

# pm-hibernate
