Cannot suspend or hibernate Asus N61J Laptop

[vall]

I have a Sonny Vaio SR49VN. In my case, the laptop would not suspend only occasionally. I tried the solution posted here, but yet, simetimes I can suspend, sometimes not. Anyone has an idea what else I can try?

Confirmed: The solution listed in posts #7 & #8 fixed my hibernate/suspend issues!

Just wanted to confirm that this workaround IS working in my system. (Both the steps outlined in posts #7 and #8 are required.)

Using Asus G73jh-1A. Ubuntu 10.10.

Thanks!

It works on Asus U31F also! Great. Just that it doesn't come back by pressing a keyboard key, but it comes back by pressing laptop's power button and it is enough for me.

Thanks.

I hereby confirm that this suspend fix worked on Asus U31JG too. Thanks a lot! This has been bugging me for months.

PS: Also utilized the follow-up post and did a reboot.

If you can suspend but not hibernate, then you might not have enough swap space. Your swap partition needs to be at least as large as the amount of memory your computer has. I like to set my swap partition to be 1GB larger than my system memory, so for my laptop with 6GB of RAM, I set my swap to 7GB. It's probably overkill, but virtually assures that my hibernations don't fail due to lack of swap.

Great Job! After a long time made of researches and vain attempts, thanks to the solutions posted at the #7 and #8 of this thread, now I am able to suspend and hibernate my PC.
At present I have a Gigabyte GA-790FXTA-UD5 motherboard and a Nvidia GeForce 7950 GT as a graphics card, with Kubuntu 11.04 and the solution here proposed works very well, but I believe that it could work with my old hardware too, a dead Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard.

Oh man I was about to go back to windows because there's no point in a new laptop that can't suspend. and bam. this thread solved it! the fix only took two minutes too. Why the hell isnt this being pushed out as an update?
( answer: because it's ubuntu... =[ )

Asus X53E, if you were wondering.

Now to get the hardware multitouch working (hah)
