I want to withdraw my earlier speculation that hibernate-disk fixes the crashing problem. It doesn't. I think I got lucky initially but over the last several weeks have crashed a lot when resuming from hibernation. Typically I get no error message --- the screen freezes as it is switching graphics

Your finding about the hard disk power management setting raises a couple of questions. 1. Would the power setting change cause issues if the user hibernated on battery and restored with line power or vice versa. 2. Apart from the power setting change, what about the use case where the user hiberna

Christoph: I think the important change is that my very basic script uses hibernate-disk (from the hibernate package) rather than the gnome menu.

It appears to me that using the hibernate package (1.99-1) may reduce crashes associated with hibernation. I invoke it using a script where I first check for remote mounted drives, then I just call hibernate-disk. (I wondered if failing to unmount might be causing problems.) In limited testing, thi

I use a Lenovo X200s and have consistent problems with hibernation in Karmic. It will usually hibernate successfully once or twice but then it crashes on resume.

Danny, have you tried my suggestion to run in a terminal "iwconfig wlan0 essid ssid_name"? (substitute for wlan0 and ssid_name as appropriate). I have no idea why this works, but I have had a 100% connection success rate over the last 6 weeks. I find it works either a) to issue the command once NM

Unfortunately changing the driver isn't the answer. And despite my initial flurry of success, wpa_supplicant on the command line isn't the answer either. It may connect with a slightly higher probability, but most of the time I don't connect however I try. On Tue, Jan 13, 2009 at 10:31 PM, Dan Bra
