pm-hibernate doesn't work

[taninamdar]

Hi,
I have Kubuntu 12.04 and I have 4 GB RAM. Earlier I had 2 GB swap space and it used to work fine for hibernation (using pm-hibernate) except when I had many applications running and I tried to hibernate. It used to show not enough swap space.
So I figured I should increase swap, so I shifted it from sda5 to sda7 and expanded to 4 GB. However, now pm-hibernate does not work. When I use it, the display goes blank for a fraction of a second and comes back to where I was working on.

I'm pasting contents of /etc/fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda3 during installation
UUID=a79f2d70-17fd-4e2d-887b-ac3dc5d2b1c2 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1

/dev/sda7 none swap sw 0 0


If that helps.
Thanks in advance.

Your initramfs needs to know the correct UUID of your new swap file. The file: /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume should contain the new UUID. See here for more info. You can get the UUID of your swap file by running:

sudo blkid

The hibernate log file is located at /var/log/pm-suspend.log - it may contain some relevant diagnostic information.

[taninamdar]

I changed the UUID in the file you specified to my current UUID. Still the problem persists.
Here is the last few part of the log in the cat /var/log/pm-suspend.log file, I cannot upload as the total size of log is huge.
Here is the last part:

s2disk: Could not stat the resume device file. Reason: No such file or directory

Are you using s2disk (uswsusp) to hibernate?

apt-cache policy uswsusp

If so, can you check for the existence of either of these files:
- /etc/uswsusp.conf
- /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d/uswsusp
...and post back their contents. (If there is a reference to a resume partition there, it should be changed to match).

Also, is there a resume= parameter on your kernel boot line?

cat /proc/cmdline

...will show you your current kernel boot line

And, make sure you run:

sudo update-initramfs -u

...to rebuild the initramfs after any of these changes, then reboot.

[taninamdar]

Are you using s2disk (uswsusp) to hibernate?

Nope. I use pm-hibernate.
Output of s2disk was:

s2disk: Could not lock myself. Reason: Cannot allocate memory

Also, about the two files,

tan@tan-laptop:~$ cat /etc/uswsusp.conf
cat: /etc/uswsusp.conf: No such file or directory

tan@tan-laptop:~$ cat /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d/uswsusp
# When bug 376393 gets fixed this will setup non-us keyboards in
# early userspace, necessary for punching in passphrases.

[Toz]

Is it installed?

apt-cache policy uswsusp

Try adding RESUME=UUID=<swap_UUID> (change <swap_UUID> to be the actually UUID of the swap partition) to /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d/uswsusp as per the instructions here. Remember to run:

sudo update-initramfs -u

...afterwards.

[taninamdar]

Yes, uswsusp is installed.

Just to confirm, did you run "sudo update-initramfs -u" afterwards?

Can you post back the contents of /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d/uswsusp and the results of:

sudo blkid

And what does the following return:

sudo debconf-show uswsusp

Yes, I did run it after execution of those commands.
