if the /etc/fstab is openned go to the line where you can read ” # swap was on /dev/…..”
immediatly after this line,I mean the next line ,be sure there is no ”#”.If there is on ”#” starting this following line
I don not have # in the next line. And I still cannot find /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/hal-system-power-hibernate-linux and the same second either.
Also command s2disk has a same trouble as a previous.

(Please for hibernation problem
make share your swap is mounted correctly
so do this as root:)

sudo nano /etc/fstab

(you will need to enter root password)
(if the /etc/fstab is openned go to the line where you can read ” # swap was on /dev/…..”
immediatly after this line,I mean the next line ,be sure there is no ”#”.If there is on ”#” starting this following line ,just erease it.like this your swap space will be active for hibernation. after press ”ctrl+0” to save the changes. ”ctrl+x” to exit)

sudo apt-get install uswsusp

and restart your computer.

Ciao

Sean and Niloc, I am running Ubuntu 11.04 on my Toshiba Satellite and I couldn’t get hibernate working with the tweek that Ivan has mentioned. First of all I couldn’t find any files in the dir. he mentions and even if I create the mentioned file nothing changes.

Ivan’s reply worked great with my 11.04 on my ASUS G72Sw. Thank you so much, that was a lifesaver. I was having issues with both suspend and hibernate where the OS would seem to crash and nothing would load on my screens, forcing a manual shutdown via power key.

When I type sudo s2ram I get this message:
Machine is unknown.
This machine can be identified by:
sys_vendor = “Hewlett-Packard”
sys_product = “HP Compaq 6530b (GW688AV)”
sys_version = “F.13″
bios_version = “68PDD Ver. F.13″
See http://suspend.sf.net/s2ram-support.html for details.

If you report a problem, please include the complete output above.

And nothing happens.

When I type sudo s2disk it works perfectly, is it possible my RAM can be broken in some kind of way?

I had this problem on Asus U36J and Debian and Ivan’s solution fixed it. Now I switched to Ubuntu and it doesn’t work. The problem is certainly in USB3 drivers so I’m not sure why this doesn’t work…

Does anyone else have suggestions?

I am running Ubuntu 11.04 Natty on a Dell laptop. I was unable to suspend and resume, the resume would wake the computer, but the computer did not respond. My solution was to remove the following packages:
acpi-support
acpid

Now suspend and resume work everytime, including just closing the lid and re-opening. Hope it helps.

I changed the distribution for Debian 6 and this solution no more working.
sudo apt-get install uswsusp - package not supported anymore for for Debian 6.

After first suspend witch is working OK I will have just black screen without any access to the system, need power button to shut down.

Well, the solution of busymind, works in part for me, cause I didnt had problems going to suspend/hibernate, but coming from hibernate, time in which the pc simply shuts off by itself, now I can see the s2disk process reaching its “100% completed” so Im confident this is it, however Im not sure if I did succed editing the default commands in the system replacing with the new ones, but I guess the time will say it. Thanks a lot

Whoa! I can’t belive! It works!
This Ivan guy is a savior! I have to make an article about this! I can’t belive it’s so simple, because I really spend a lot of energy on this…

Solution posted by Ivan works perfect.
Thanks!

I’m running Ubuntu 10.04 on ASUS 1018P netbook. The problem with suspend/hibernate had come from USB 3.0 interface (xhci).

jl2035, follow the instruction, empty file is ok.
