Yes, problem (as described and fixed in bug #38333) can be manually worked around by doing a one off:
sudo mkswap /dev/hda3 sudo swapon -a to start using the swap partition, and: echo RESUME=/dev/hda3 | sudo tee /etc/mkinitramfs/conf.d/resume sudo update-initramfs followed by a reboot to activate it. Hibernate should then work. ** Changed in: acpi-support (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: acpi-support => ubiquity Status: Needs Info => Fix Released ** Summary changed: - GDM Choices Cause Sleep and Hibernate Failure + No Hibernation: '/etc/mkinitramfs/conf.d/resume' is not created -- No Hibernation: '/etc/mkinitramfs/conf.d/resume' is not created https://launchpad.net/bugs/43114 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
