I found a workaround on ubuntu gnome 13.10: just install hibernate: sudo apt-get install hibernate
The only problem is that apport will issue three errors when starting up after normal Power Off. For this you can disable apport: sudo gedit /etc/default/apport Then change enabled=0. To change settings from hibernate edit files in /etc/hibernate. In hibernate.conf you can comment "TryMethod tuxonice.conf" and "TryMethod ram.conf" and leave uncommented "TryMethod disk.conf" as for hibernate you only need to use the disk, like this: #TryMethod tuxonice.conf TryMethod disk.conf #TryMethod ram.conf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1225782 Title: Document how to enable hibernation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-docs/+bug/1225782/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
