I also tried to use a swap partition instead of a swap file. I removed the swap file, added a swap partition and activated this for swapping and resuming (in /etc/fstab: "/dev/sda4 swap ..." and in /boot/grub/menu.lst: "... resume=/dev/sda4").
Now the hibernate button is available (see attachment) and hibernation is working correctly. So I think that there is a generell problem when using swap files and hibernation. But I don't know if this is a kernel or Ubuntu problem. I haven't another distribution to test it. ** Attachment added: "with hibernate button ("Ruhezustand" in german)" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17830199/with-hibernate.png -- cant hibernate to swapfile https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/252143 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
