One common complaint across many Linux distributions is that the suspend and/or hibernate features either don’t work or don’t work correctly. Linux.com offers a script that will help in the process of suspending and/or hibernating your laptop in Linux. Copy and paste the script offered at Linux.com into the following directory:

/usr/local/sbin/suspend.sh

Then make the script executable by entering the following command into a terminal:

chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/suspend.sh

Lastly, when you want to suspend type the following command into a terminal:

suspend.sh suspend

and when you want to hibernate type the following command into a terminal:

suspend.sh hibernate
