Activate Hibernate on Xubuntu

[Malacath]

Is there a way to add the Hibernate option to the shutdown menu in Xubuntu?

See the thread at https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2219403 which though for 14.04 still works for 16.04 which I have (as Lubuntu, admittedly) on an old Atom netbook I use sometimes for minor stuff, but which has a useless battery, hence hibernate is essential to me.

Bear in mind that hibernation in Ubuntu and the family can be a bit hit and miss, so do not be surprised if it does not work on your computer even after adding the text file shown in that link, and make sure you try the

sudo pm-hibernate

first as well to see if it is possible with your hardware.

Thanks.

Will follow the instructions in that thread,
