Hibernate is not enabled by default on Zesty (or any recent release, for that 
matter). I have 32GB of RAM, so I created a 35GB swap partition and added it to 
fstab. I also installed pm-utils and created initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume with 
RESUME=UUID=xxx and updated with update-initramfs -u.
I tested this with pm-hibernate. The screen went black and there was a message 
to the effect that something was being written (it appeared very briefly). But 
it didn't turn of completely, and about a minute later the mouse cursor 
appeared on an otherwise black screen. (A hard reset was required, and I wasn't 
surprised that the system state was not preserved.)
So then I tried systemctl hibernate -i. Now it says "Failed to hibernate system 
via logind: Sleep verb not supported," which is not quite self-explanatory. (I 
am using an Nvidia GTX 970 display adapter, and there have been some problems 
reported using these with the hibernate function.) Anyhow, anyone with insight 
into such matters is encouraged to comment on this issue.
