Unable to hibernate

**bas1** · July 17th, 2008

Hi,

I have an HP dv4419us Pavilion notebook that refuses to hibernate. I've had issues with hibernation in Ubuntu ever since I first started using it (version 7.04). I ran the /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh script, and it spat out some errors.

Code:

brandon@brandon-laptop:~$ sudo /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh
ifdown: interface eth0 not configured
ifdown: interface eth1 not configured
Allocated buffer at 0x2010 (base is 0x0)
ES: 0x0201 EBX: 0x0000

Anyone know of a fix? Thanks for any help!

I'm not sure about 7.04, but in 8.04 (hardy), hibernate.sh is deprecated. You should use pm-suspend and pm-hibernate.

I am in this trouble too
I have a PC Desktop with ubuntu hardy and a Nvidia Geforce 7050
I think it is a Nvidia restricted drivers related problem
also pm-hibernate/suspend doesn`t work

any solution or suggestion?

make sure swap is enabled, load different kernel, try different video driver

thanx for suggestion but swap is unabled as you can see:

Code:

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1       19128   153645628+  83  Linux
/dev/sda2           19129       19457     2642692+   5  Extended
/dev/sda5           19129       19457     2642661   82  Linux swap / S

and I also update to Intrepid to see what happens
but last time I tried to hibernate I had troubles with my hda1 with loss of the superblock etc..
(also suspend doesn't work)

original drivers seems to be the only ones working good with nvidia cards

I also found a blog that seems to focus on the problem but the given solution (configuring the AGP) doesn't fit with my card type..

any other suggestion?
