Getting hibernate to work
I can't seem to get hibernate to work. My screen turns black but the light on my laptop says it's still running. Did I miss something here?

It's not that hard to train a pengiun to do stunts. Just say, sudo roll-over or sudo play-dead.

Re: Getting hibernate to work
Will it boot from that state?
I think thats the most important part...
Check if the disk is running. I know some computers does not turn off the light when going to hibernate

Re: Getting hibernate to work
I too have had problems with the hibernate/sleep mode. I get an error message that tell me it's not working properly (duh) and to check the Help File.
Re: Getting hibernate to work
Okay, when I hibernate the screen then proceeds to go blank but it doesn't shutdown since my screen is still a bit lighter than it should be than when it's off. Also, the light on my notebook is still on. Once, I'm in this state, when I press the power button, nothing happens so I have to do a forced shutdown to get my system back up.Husse wrote:Will it boot from that state?

Why doesn't it work? Back when I was still using xp, it hibernated ok.

Re: Getting hibernate to work
I also have the same issue I have a dell d800. It seems that gutsy is using a different method for hibernating and it seems alot of people are having issues. Do a search on the ubuntu forums. I'm hoping when I have a bit more time to see if here is a solution.

Re: Getting hibernate to work
This has never been a problem with previous releases. Also, please tell the noob here how to check the drives.constantine768 wrote:You might need to check if the drivers for the display card are installed correctly since I am also not able to put my lappy to hibernate.
Re: Getting hibernate to work
Drivers my friend not drivesAlso, please tell the noob here how to check the drives.
This makes me wonder - do you have ATI or nvidia
I have a feeling the answer will be ATI
If so try to install the very latest driver 7.11 I'm not quite sure if Envy has it yet but I think so
Not all ATI cards (but most) will use this.
And yes - something seems to have happened.....

Re: Getting hibernate to work
Yes drivers not drives (I so embarrassed)...but the noobie question just keep on keeping on. I too think it's ATI, but how do I check for sure. I used the Control Center to check my hardware, but I don't see anything:(Husse wrote:Drivers my friend not drivesAlso, please tell the noob here how to check the drives.

ps thanks for you help.
***edit***
BTW, I ran Envy for grins and it indeed says some dependencies are missing. However, the above question is still valid, ATI or nvidia...I don't know. After all, I don't want to screw this up or break something. I do that too much as it is:(
Re: Getting hibernate to work
Mine isn't working. I'm using ATI. Is there a fix for this?

Re: Getting hibernate to work
I think Husse may have posted about this one already:
http://www.linux.com/feature/114220
Improved ways to suspend and hibernate a laptop under Linux
5th paragraph:
"The good news is that uswsusp is now stable, well integrated with kernel versions 2.6.17 onwards, and supported by most major Linux distributions. Debian (Etch and Sid) and Ubuntu (Edgy Eft and Feisty Fawn) users can install the uswusp package, enter their swap space partition when asked by the package manager, and then run s2disk to hibernate their laptop, as long as they run the stock kernel provided by their distribution."
Yes it is in synaptic. .

Re: Getting hibernate to work
Thanks for the input
You may be right
If you use Synaptic there's an alternative to completely remove (apt-get --purge remove)
This removes config files as well. Maybe some left over config file was used....
This is motsly an educated guess

Re: Getting hibernate to work
So, to summarize: Don't install uswsusp in Synaptic (or usw, susp for that matter). Am I right?Husse wrote:Thanks for the input
