Ubuntu :: Hibernate Does Not Work / Locks Up Before Even Shutting Down
Jan 24, 2010
I am using Xubuntu 9.10, 2.6.31-17-generic kernel. Video driver: "ati".I have only been using Linux for less than a year now but I have never been able to get hibernate mode working. Had the same problem on previous kernels and with Nvidia drivers. Tonight I tried removing all traces of any nvidia drivers hiding in my system (I recently changed to an ATI card), and also upgrading to grub 2. Still no luck.If I use the "hibernate" option from the shutdown menu, I just get a black screen with a blinking cursor. If I use s2disk, I get a little bit more of a hint, but still not very helpful. Then it just locks up after that. Power is still on and it never shuts down. I have a 6 gig swap partition set up that is enabled, so it is definitely not a swap issue.

I dual boot Ubuntu and Windows and sometimes I just want to switch between the partitions without loosing the state of the OS I was currently working with. Currently to do that I just hibernate that OS and, when the computer turns off, I restart it and select the correct partition.
I do not really want to have to press the on button again every time I want to switch between partitions. I figure that there must be a way to make the hibernate action restart instead of shutting down.
How do I make the hibernate action restart instead of shutting down on:
Windows, or Ubuntu
P.S. It is more important to me that I can do this in Ubuntu than Windows (because of the way I use the partitions) therefore if one answer says the Ubuntu way and the other says the Windows way then I will mark the Ubuntu one as the answer and give the Windows one an upvote and a big thankyou.

My desktop machine has U 10.10, Gnome, Compiz, Cairo dock. After a lengthy session with lots of programs and windows open, hitting the shutdown or restart or logout buttons don't produce anything at all. Suspend works. Sudo shutdown -h now in a terminal window works. Why the graphical ways of shutting down don't work?

When I try to hibernate, the computer just goes to a blank, black screen and doesn't turn off. I have to hold the power button to get it to shut down, and when I turn it back on none of the programs running before hibernation have been saved.

my Eee PC has various troubles with the current Lucid kernel (2.6.32). These include, that the wifi won't work and that I can't use hibernate. A netbook without wifi is a little bit useless I even tried the usual bugfixes, that you can find in the web (installing the original RAlink drivers, updating to 2.6.33), but nothing really worked.As a consequence, I downgraded to Karmic again, were everything just worked fine.My question is now, is it possible to run Lucid with the older kernel available in Karmic?

I Installed Ubuntu 10.04 with Logical Volume Management last month and then upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 and noticed that I have been loosing power faster than I have been used to. I have realized that I didn't have a hibernate option. I should be able to hibernate because I have over 5 GB LVM swap partition and only 2 GB of ram on my Laptop. How do I get the hibernate feature back?
EDIT the original installation was with encrypted home but I moved off of the encrypted home.

I've recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 (amd64) on my MacBook 3,1 (1GB memory). Most things work perfectly on install, and I've got the iSight working now too!
However, although suspend works fine, hibernate does not. When I try to hibernate, the screen goes blank with the back light on for a few seconds, then the screen goes off completely for about 0.1 of a scond and I hear the optical drive whirr (like it does when booting), and then about 4 or 5 seconds after that it finally powers off.
Then, when I restart, I see the rEFIt menu, then the GRUB menu and it appears to boot like normal and *not* resume from hibernate!
I'm not sure what log I should look in? When I look in /var/log/pm-suspend.log the last line says "performing hibernate", but there's nothing about even attempting to resume.
UPDATE: Forgot to mention, I have a swap partition that is larger than 1GB.
UPDATE 2: Also, after attempting to hibernate, when the system restarts, WiFi has been disabled -- I have to double-tap (right-click) on the WiFi icon and re-enable it. I *think* this is because the hibernate process disables networking, but it then fails to re-enable it because is fails to resume.

The OS is Lucid 64-bit . Before I begin I must say suspend/hibernate works fine with 3 other machines, so I'm trying to find out what's wrong with this one. I tried [URL].. and also I tried changing acpi-support. It currently is as this:

Why doesn't Hibernate work in Ubuntu 10.10?
I have tried to research the problem and suspect that the hibernation function is not a default function of the system. But how do I install it.

I am using a server where i need to login twice. The first time i login as my boxname and pass. The 2nd login is 'root' so i can access the content of the box (i dont understand it but that hasnt stopped me from using it as normal).Now i like a GUI so i can browse files easier and drag and drop multiple files instead of using the command line. WinSCP doesnt work as it locks up. I suspect its because there is a prompt to log in again.
What can i use to drag & drop files?

I've re-partitioned my existing windows xp disk to do a dual boot with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid. The installation went fine and I am able to use both the operating systems just fine.
But when I boot into windows xp I donot have the hibernte/sleep options available anymore.
debug the issue and get back those options ?
Note: I have made the windows as default boot option in grub.

I have recently switched to Ubuntu from Windows Vista. But I am having a few problems, any pointers will be grand.First sleep and hibernate do not work. My laptop sleeps or hibernates fine, but on awake I just get a blank screen and the hard drive doesn't spin at all. This also disables the network manager, which is a real pain.Also for some reason I can't enable special effects. I have the ATI Radeon 200M series integrated graphics chipset.eres some spec details:

I've been running 6.0.2 amd64 stable since release day and recently have noticed my suspend and hibernate do not work. Normally I have transmission running and have set it to not enter sleep mode while torrents are active. However today I have not had transmission and was wanting to see if the sleep mode options would kick in. So I have set my display to "sleep when inactive for" 5 mins (this works perfect)
I have set "put computer to sleep when inactive for" 10 mins (this does not work at all)
When I try to manually test suspend my display flashes black for a few seconds but remains backlit, then asks me to log back in
When I manually go into hibernate mode my display turns off, pops back on for a second and in a terminal says something about a usb device (something failed but it happens so fast I cannot read it)

My desktop is a Compaq CQ5110F. It's a dual boot system and Fedora 11 resides on sda3 of hard disk (WD 3200AAJS-6).Both suspend and hibernate don't work, but the symptoms are different. For hibernate, after resume, there are some messages (??) about register errors quickly flashed on the screen, then the logon window shows but the system hangs. For suspend, I cannot wake up the system by hitting some keys on the keyboard. After I press the power button, LCD doesn't get any signal. I remember hibernate worked when I was using Fedora10, but wireless card did not automatically reconnect at that time. Also hibernate works fine for vista.

I have installed Ubuntu as wubi (next to windows 7). When I expect the computer to shut down (either to hibernate or as part of, you know, shutdown), it doesn't. All the programs end, I am logged out, but I still have a picture on the screen (ubuntu default picture).

So here is my problem what i am currently having. I am going through a serious issue right now. My laptop crashes when SUSPEND/HIBERNATE or unplugging the laptop's charger.

Wubi doesn't let me set the swap file size, so on installation it only creates a swap file of a few hundred megabytes. Because of this, i cannot hibernate my netbook (eeePC 1005HA), which has 2 GB of RAM.
Creating a 2 GB swap file alongside of the original one using the tutorial here did work, but hibernate doesn't seem to work with it. For this reason i thought increasing the original swap's size instead of creating more would be a way to solve my problem.

I recieve the following error:
Cannot find swap device, try swapon -a
/bin/echo: write error: No such device
If I type swapon -a, I get something like this:
swapon: cannot find the device for UUID=4d79c009-9464-41d5-9f78-90644bca9ba3
It worked great before I did the upgrade... I've upgraded to 2.6.37-rc5.

I'm using pm-hibernate, and would like to reboot the machine after it's done hibernating, rather than having the machine turn off.Is there a way to do this with pm-hibernate, or any other Linux hibernate thing?

What is the deal with Ubuntu and power states? "Suspend" and "Hibernate" don't do anything. Whether I invoke one manually, the most that happens is that my screen goes blank. The monitor does not go to standby, my hard drives don't spin down, and the machine doesn't go into standby. Whenever I try to start the "Power Management" applet (System->Preferences->Power Management), it seems to hang. Takes a long time - up to a couple of minutes - for a window to appear. I also just noticed that one of my HDD's seems to be running constantly, even though I'm not moving any files around. Not sure where to start straightening things out.

Just got Ubuntu 9.10 and I'm liking it a lot, but my computer refuses to go into hibernate or suspend. I have a Dell M1530 but I don't really think it's a dell hardware issue because it's not just when I close the screen, it's also when I click suspend or hibernate from the menu.

I've installed Edubuntu 11.04 on an Intel Classmate PC but it is shutting down by itself for no apparent reason. Can I find a log file anywhere that might give me a clue what is causing it?

I'm trying to set up my pc to power off at 00:30 everynight. I'm using webmin's Scheduled Cron Jobs tool. I've tried (running as root):
halt
shutdown -h now
and neither have powered off the pc using webmin. Am I missing something?
