Hello.

Thanks and regards.

You will need to enable hibernation In *buntu

However, you do need to make sure your swap file or swap partition is large enough to support hibernation to begin with.
A stock Ubuntu/Kubuntu install uses a small swap file.

Some how-to infos:

Thanks for the reply.

I understand that, once hibernation is enabled, in power options, it will appear suspend then hibernate?

I take advantage, this leads me to a question, is it better to create a swap file or a partition? Both options would be on the same disk, so I think one option or the other is irrelevant, but when in doubt, I prefer to consult.
Thanks and best regards

Yes, it should appear there as well as in the logout/shutdown options as well

A partition is probably easier, especially if one dual boots different distros at all, Just use the same partition for all of them.
