I had a similar problem with a Fujitsu Siemens S6410 laptop: Immediately after starting to hibernate, the machine hangs.
I found out that the following solved the problem: sudo apt-get install hibernate sudo apt-get install uswsusp sudo ln -s /sbin/s2disk /usr/sbin/ My interpretation is that the kernel 2.6.24 suspend method is broken (hangs!) and if the s2disk userspace method is not available, the kernel method is chosen. Moreover, as mentioned in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pm-utils/+bug/207002 /usr/lib/pm-utils/functions is incompatible with the current uswsusp (the path to s2disk is wrong there.). -- nx6325 hangs for suspend & hibernate for Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224533 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
