Lars Ellenberg figured out a work-around for this bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/uswsusp/+bug/816859/comments/9
I made one slight change. Files in /usr should not be modified manually, so first copy it into etc: sudo cp /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/uswsusp /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/ Then edit this file /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/uswsusp and add this line at the end, just before it calls /sbin/resume: [ -x /bin/plymouth ] && plymouth quit Worked like a charm! ** Summary changed: - 10.10 Wont resume from Hibernation + Plymouth hangs during resume from from hibernation with uswsusp ** Also affects: plymouth (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - Plymouth hangs during resume from from hibernation with uswsusp + Plymouth hangs after successful resume from from hibernation with uswsusp -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682604 Title: Plymouth hangs after successful resume from from hibernation with uswsusp To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/682604/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
