10.10 hibernate not installed by default

[tgc05]

Hibernate never worked in my current Ubuntu install, 10.10. Symptoms varied. Sometimes just a blank screen with blinking cursor. Other times there were error messages. Suspend works OK.

I was about to report a bug when I discovered that the hibernate package was not installed, according to Synaptic. I installed hibernate and it now works without any problems. (resumes OK, too)

I performed a standard install of 10.10, so I don't know why the package was missing. The option to hibernate was listed in the shutdown dialog.

I just want to flag this as an apparent problem with the 10.10 install.

Thanks for this, I'd been scratching my head over lack of hibernation for a while - installing hibernate fixed it and it now works fine.

Quite why someone at canonical hasn't noticed this glaring omission with all the "my hibernate doesn't work" threads all over the forum I can't begin to explain...

sudo apt-get install gnome-power-manager

The package called "hibernate" is not installed on my system, but I can hibernate. It's not a requirement.

i believe the package pm-tools provides hibernate as well as suspend by default in gnome/ubuntu at least. check

man /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate

. but if the hibernate package makes it work for you - who cares

double posted, sorry

I have tried installing Hibernate and it still does not work. If I select Suspend or Hibernate the machine goes to sleep, but there does not seem to be any way to wake it again.

I'm on 10.10 64 bit

Any ideas?

Thanks

Yeah I too continue having problems w/hibernate/suspend (for the last 10 years). In that time I have never been able to get it all working properly at all.And over that time it has been with varying laptops.

Right now with Gnome Power Manager, which is suppose to simplify the whole thing,I get options for suspend, which just blanks my screen, after an hour or so system is really hot, fan going full bore so nothing is suspending. Other option is shutdown, that works. But No hibernate option.

However on my desktop I have all three options.
Both have same packages installed that control these functions. I have never tried the suspend/hibernate on desktop, I guess I should to see if they work at all as they are suppose to.

Googleling seems to bring up 101 things to do. With varying results which have yet to yield a fully working suspend/hibernate on laptop.

I have said this many times before, Microsoft can make this work properly so what's up with our Linux community on this one very fundamental requirement.

Somebody please give us a clear and simple solution, PLEASE !!!!!!!!

Type in a terminal:

sudo pm-hibernate

[flo2010]

hibernate via pm-hibernate in terminal just disconnects wlan and reconnects it..
i do not have any hibernate option in the "power-button-menu".

any ideas how to fix this?
