Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on Macbook pro 11,3



When pausing with the Gnome alt+shutdown button, or entering command sudo pm-hibernate, screen becomes black but the machine is not completely turned off. Pressing a button after a while may display the mouse arrow or Ubuntu Gnome desktop but it is frozen.
sudo hibernate is quite similar leaving a message on black screen saying s2disk is writing image but it never finishes. I can input characters though.
With sudo s2disk I get black screen but machine is not shutdown.
In any cases the machine won't completely turn off and I have to hard shutdown.



I have also tried with the proprietary driver of nVidia, no change.



Swap partition is active and bigger than the 16GB ram.
Could this issue be related to hardware, although I have no problem with suspending to disk from Windows or MacOS on the same machine ?



I would appreciate any help to solve this situation.
