Tim Passingham, while the Ubuntu project developers have de-emphasized their focus on hibernate in favor of suspend, it doesn't mean it's not a supported feature of Ubuntu, and in turn doesn't mean it's not supported upstream either.

Hibernation does not work. It worked fine on 12.04. The error I get is a load of messages like the following 132.nnnnnn write-error on swap-device 8.0:mmmmmmmmm (where n and m are various increasing digits.) I have checked the swap partition is active. I even resized it (using a live DVD and GParted) to get a bit more space than memory to see if that was the problem, did a completely fresh install and made sure the partition was mounted again in /etc/fstab. No luck. With my very limited knowledge it rather looks as if the disks, or the drivers, are being turned off before hibernation has completed. The reason I use hibernation is that suspension doesn't work on my 5 year old desktop. I also like the whole thing to be powered off when I leave it for a while.. Has anyone else got a similar problem. Is it a new 'feature'? I can't try any further tests because due to this and other 12.10 problems I had to give up and go back to 12.04. In truth, 12.10 was a bit of a nightmare. I should have waited 6 months or so.
