Suspend - Computer Hard Shutdown When Suspending

I've seen this question has already posted but I still couldn't find any answers. So basically, when I close my laptops lid and reopen it, instead of showing the lockscreen it boots up from the beginning. Instead of suspending it's basically doing a hard shutdown. I'm using Ubuntu 18.04, although this used to happen with 17.10 too.

I've already tried this:

  • I've checked the settings on Gnome and it's set to Suspend
  • I've tried with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_sleep=nonvs"

Also, I've noticed a few things:

  • I don't have a swap partition. I installed Ubuntu using the automatic partition tool.
  • /var/log/pm-suspend.log is empty

Any help would be much appreciated :)
