Suspend and Hibernate not working

[GuitarG20]

Hi all,
My suspend and hibernate buttons are not working. When I try to return from a suspend, I do not get a kernel panic, but nothing loads onto the screen. (It is a wubi install if that helps)

does anyone else have this problem/what is a fix?

the only fix is an actual hard drive install, suspend to disk and hibernate are the only downsides to wubi.

these are wubi limitations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_%28Ubuntu_installer%29#Limitations

very interesting. especially since I used to be able to suspend on a wubi'd Dell Inspiron laptop (made in 2002) with 9.04 and 9.10.

never been able to but it may just work on certain hardware.

Suspend should work on wubi. Hibernate does not (actually that's nothing to do with wubi it's to do with the fact that wubi uses a swap file - to hibernate you need a swap partition).

Create a swap partition. Change the /etc/fstab. Update /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume with the UUID and run update-initramfs -u.

That's it.

(The reason noone does it is because the whole point of wubi is that you don't need to partition :) )
