I have never been able to get any computer to wake up with Ubuntu using suspend. I put off installing Ubuntu on my old Dell Inspiron 8500 laptop for this reason (it worked fine with Windows XP). I finally got tired of XP and reformatted, did a fresh install of Karmic using all the defaults, and it will not suspend or hibernate.
I have an nVidia card with proprietary drivers, 1GB Ram, and I tried increasing the swap file from 1.7GB default to 3GB, with no luck. Suspend appears to work, but doesn't ever wake up; hibernate gives the "failed to thaw" error, and won't wake up. The 2nd reboot after hibernate says it's "Waking up. Please wait...", but it still didn't wake up. Then, after following the directions (for versions up to 8.10) at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaLaptopBinaryDriverSuspend, suspend still fails to wake up, but the "failed to thaw" error didn't display, and hibernate actually came alive after the 2nd reboot (only once so far, but I'm an optimist). I may play around with settings in /etc/default/acpi-support, but it's pretty time-consuming to test; I'd be willing to do it if I had more of a clue what to try rather than using the random change method (I feel like one of an infinite number of monkeys). -- IBM T42 crashes on wake up from hibernate https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/350680 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
