I assume that the two issues are related.
Gigabyte P55-USB3 mobo,
ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series graphics card,
8 GB ram
Ubuntu installed after Win7.
Dual boot Win7 and Ubuntu 10.04, shared NFTS partition for Downloads and Documents, Grub setup to load Ubuntu by default. I can use the option to hibernate in Windows (but it is disabled by default).
I would very much like to enable the "Hibernate" function on this machine, but there is no option for it in the menus.
"sudo shutdown now" in a Terminal results in a screen that resembles the login screen background, but the machine is completely irresponsive and must be silenced by long-pressing the physical power button. When I use the GUI to shut down, everything works fine.
Perhaps related: When waking the machine from the screen saver, the login window does not turn up before I press the "Esc" button. I am using a standard Gnome screen saver.
Perhaps related: The Grub boot screen is getting more and more options every time the Linux kernel is updated. sudo grub-update does not help.
Please do not lead me to the Ubuntu manual page

which has a well-known, dead link.
