I have an all Linux dual-boot set-up, with, of course, Linux Lite as my main daily driver.
To save disc space I would like both systems to share a single swap partition, but to do this safely I would like to disable hibernate and remove it from the power options (I have already removed hibernate from the log out menu through Lite Tweaks).
I found the following tutorial online -
https://sites.google.com/site/easytipsfo...nd-suspend
- but could not get it to work. I have also found many similar tutorials to this one, with one or two variations, but have found that none of them work either.
I have also tried using both the /etc and /var directories and the ”localauthority/50-local.d/ ” folder for the hack, but still no luck.
So, does anyone have a strategy for achieving the same result (disable hibernate/ remove from power options) but in a clear and easy to follow tutorial for an intermediate Linux user like me?
If such an alternative strategy/tutorial exists and works, I might even consider creating separate swap files for my Linux Lite 3.6 install and my other dual-boot OS since this seems to be the general direction of travel for swap in Linux since the release of Ubuntu 17.04.
