Almost everyone I would be switching to Lunix (Ubuntu) uses the hibernate feature in Windows.
A quick search of the issue turns up many, many related issues and even some duplicates: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.searchtext=Hibernate+not+working&search=Search I did see one post that was talking about a relation between swap space... in my case my swap is about half my memory (1 gig mem). Anyway, I can only hope they resolve this before I have to make a choice because I'll never get people to use it if it doesn't perform basic laptop operations like hibernate/suspend. Most of the people who would be using it are non-tech people, and they will not accept anything that doesn't just work... I feel like I'm running Windows 95 again for the issues like this one that I keep running into! I am a programmer, but unfortunately not a C programmer with any experience writing code for Linux so I'm a little on the useless side for helping to resolve the issue at a lower level. -- Hibernate not working on hp pavilion dv8000 https://launchpad.net/bugs/59156 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
