Hibernating on Mint 18
Open /etc/default/grub
and edit the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINXU_DEFAULT="quiet spash"
to read
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINXU_DEFAULT="quiet spash resume=/dev/mapper/mint--vg-swap_1"
where the latter part should be edited to point to your swap partition, which must be at least as large as your RAM.
Afterwards, run:
sudo update-grub2
