Hibernate In 11.10

[NarbeH]

Hi

I want to hibernate my laptop in Gnome Shell 3.2 11.10.
I can't see the button in my User Menu. I just can see suspend.
How can I active hibernate?

Thanks

Solved. Just made Swap

Could you explain what you did to make hibernate work? Not sure what Swap means. Thanks!

Without Swap Space, you can't have Hibernate in ubuntu.
Swap is a partition that is used for low memory's. If you have 1 GB of memory you have to create a partition in 2 GB of swap. so it's a space to help your memory to not get full.

after creating the swap space, you should edit e fstab file and add the swap information in it. then you will see the hibernate button in the User Menu.

But never mind to make it if you didn't. Hibernate it's not working in 11.10
