After setting up hibernation on ubuntu 20.04 and modifying it that it works for encrypted swap partitions, I'm getting several issues:

First, after rebooting from hibernation, I got "Gave up waiting for suspend/resume device" along with "Volume group luks not found". Fortunately, I could boot the system normally afterwards.

Still, when going through the steps of the aforementioned websites again, I get the following errors and warnings when executing sudo update-initramfs -c -k all:

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.4.0-56-generic

    /dev/disk/by-uuid/5834cf70-0919-4c53-98a6-355d69bbd6a4

Note that the UUID=5834cf70-0919-4c53-98a6-355d69bbd6a4 belonged to the previously non-encrypted swap partition sda3. I replaced this UUID with the one of the encrypted partition sda3_crypt in every configuration file (see below) I know of.

I hope with the following printouts provided the problems can be resolved. The contents of the configuration files involved (concerning the swap partition) are:

1. /etc/fstab

Do all the lines in all your config files end with the newline character?

I encountered the below error while running update-initramfs -c -k all:

cryptsetup: WARNING: target 'sda4_crypt' not found in /etc/crypttab

My /etc/crypttab was:

sda4_crypt UUID=[snip] none luks,discard

However, there was no newline character at the end of the line. /etc/crypttab was generated by a POSIX shell script (a script that I wrote), and it is hideously difficult create variables with trailing newline characters in POSIX shell.

After I added a newline character at the end of the line, the error message went away, and it appears that initramfs is now running successfully.

  • > hideously difficult - perhaps: echo "sda4_crypt UUID=[$uuid] none luks,discard" or printf "%s%d_crypt UUID=[%s] none luks,discard\n" "$disk" "$part" "$uuid"

  • I only want to rewrite the file if it needs to change. So... I store the desired text in a variable (including the trailing newline). I read the actual text from the file (including the trailing newline, if one exists). Then, I only update (rewrite) the file if the desired and actual text differ. In POSIX shell, creating and/or preserving trailing newlines is far more work than it should be.

  • How can I check whether all lines in these textfiles have an endline character?

  • I can tell by examining the files in my text editor. I use emacs and jed. You could also run cat filename ; echo xxx in a terminal, and see if the xxx appears at the beginning versus the end of the line.

  • cat -vte filename ; echo xxx would show any control chars, tabs, and end-of-line.
