hibernate:Warning: Tuxonice binary signature file not found

dual-boot hibernate

I can only say that this warning doesn't necessary mean that hibernation will not succeed. For me hibernation works even though the warning is displayed. Why it doesn't work in Your case may be a matter of other issues. For example, if I'm not wrong, it may be connected with size of Your SWAP partition (if nothing changed in the meantime, it is recommended to be a size of You RAM memory I believe) or GRUB configuration (boot options).

For the start I would recommend trying some other programs like pm-hibernate. If I were You, I would also check out this question: Hibernation in 18.04 (which seems to contain solution in the answer, hmm...) or this one: How can I hibernate on Ubuntu 16.04? and try to search for more if needed.

And, by the way, I believe it does not really have much to do with dual booting.

"apt-get install hibernate"
```
but when i try
```

  My laptop can hibernate just fine, but after resuming I also see this warning. Maybe it's not the real problem, as the answer below suggests.

pm-hibernate doesn't work hence the need to install hibernate. I had this work once but don't remember what I changed now it only gives me this error and won;t hibernate.

If it is a comment, why has it been posted as an answer? Also, LM is not Ubuntu, which makes it off topic.

@mikewhatever, LM v20.2 is based on Ubuntu v20.4 LTS. Re answer: improving the definition of the nature of a problem, (negligent vagueness), helps to reduce the size of the solution set.
