Hibernate is not working (complains my swap is not encrypted - though it is!

But the kernel isn’t happy:
[115020.414085] Lockdown: systemd-logind: hibernation is restricted; see man kernel_lockdown.7

Though my swap is in a LV that is under an encrypted partition - any idea why it won’t hibernate my laptop (Dell, UEFI boot)?

That’s probably because you’ve got Secure Boot turned on.

The kernel_lockdown man page says:

On an EFI-enabled x86 or arm64 machine, lockdown will automatically enabled if the system boots in EFI Secure mode.

Indeed - and that sucks. I had to disable EFI secure mode.
