Now I have another weird issue. Not able to see if a fix would come along, I thought of something on the internet. I did follow the instructions in http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-suspend-and-hibernation-problem-for-laptops.html and installed uswsusp. With that the computer would suspend but would never resume when I power it on again.
I then removed it. Then I tried the instructions in website: http://thecodecentral.com/2011/01/18/fix-ubuntu-10-10-suspendhibernate- not-working-bug. This too didnt work and I subsequently removed this script too. Currently I have a system where hibernate also causes the system to kind of shut down. When I press hibernate, it seems to go in kind of hibernate. But when I power up, the system comes up as if being powered on after a shut down. And now I kind of feel I am stuck. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880346 Title: Hibernate fails after upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hibernate/+bug/880346/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
