I encrypted the hard disk with LUKS.

When I boot the PC, the screen says: please unlock disk sda5_crypt.

Is it possible to return to this screen from the command-line? If the PC can return from the unlocked state, it is OK even if not from the command-line. Is restarting my PC the only way to fix this problem?

I executed the command $ lsblk -a and I paste the output.

Thank you for answering!
I tried the command, but I got the following error.
Failed to hibernate system via logind: Sleep verb not supported
I did a search and it said that disabling secure boot is the solution.
Althought I tried, it didn't work.
At first, I seem to have to solve the problem of hibernating ubuntu 18.04...

    I don't see any sda5_crypt. I only see sda3_crypt. Is there a sda5_crypt that does not show up in the lsblk -a output? If so, can you open the app "Disks" and select the sda5_crypt in there and take a screenshot? Add the screenshot in your question.

The closest thing that I know of is to hibernate the system. Try the following command:

sudo systemctl hibernate

Personally I have one PC that this fails to work on (system restarts as if shut down) and another where this works.

If your system can successfully hibernate, then you'll arrive at the password prompt when you turn it back on, and then the system will start where you left off.
