Hibernate/Suspend Not working

[AlexsAntidote]

Oh...my thats a stupid mistake of me. Thanks

From Cat /ect/fstab:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'vol_id --uuid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
# / was on /dev/sda3 during installation
UUID=c3c892fa-37f2-4dc0-8d7b-8d7e8a7258f8 /               ext4    relatime,errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0

Looks the same as if I looked at it with a graphical editor, or ran

gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

I am signing off to go to bed now. If anyone can find a solution (I am fine with terminal/command line) for me and post it while I am a snoozin', much wukk be appreciated

Yeah it looks like your swap partition is not being mounted at boot...

Run the following to see if your swap partition exists (post output if you want/need help locating it):

sudo fdisk -l

Take note of the path, mine is /dev/sda6.

If your swap partition is listed in the output, you can find it's UUID by doing the following:

blkid

(post the output for that too if you want)

If you can find the UUID of your swap, you can add it to fstab:

gksudo gedit /etc/fstab

(but you knew that part)

add the following line(s):

# /dev/sda6
UUID={$yourSwapUUID} none            swap    sw              0       0

be sure to insert your swaps UUID above in place of {$yourSwapUUID} (I know, that is obvious right?!)

***Edit***
Also, I forgot to mention to use the following command to turn the swap on, and then reboot:

swapon -a

***/Edit***

If that doesn't work, read the following for more help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq

[jrox717]

look at the man page for swapon.

you can find the UUID for the swap partition by

 ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid

then add it to your fstab file (I'll leave it to you to figure that out) and then

 swapon -a

[AlexsAntidote]

look at the man page for swapon.

you can find the UUID for the swap partition by

 ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid

then add it to your fstab file (I'll leave it to you to figure that out) and then

 swapon -a

Thanks jrox717, I forgot to add the swapon command... also, ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid is good, but I think blkid is a little easier to read. But it's nice to see we're on the same page.

[jrox717]

Wow, sorry AlexsAntidote, I must have totally missed your post!

[AlexsAntidote]

Wow, sorry AlexsAntidote, I must have totally missed your post!

Hey no worries, I'm glad you posted, I forgot to mention the swapon command and you reminded me. So it's all good.

Take care!

Thanks. I'll do this when I get home. I have about 2 hours from the time I get home and when I go to bed. Sports camp leaves me exausted, and I am there for almost 10 hours a day, for the past 2 and a half weeks.

blkid could not see my Swap partition (/dev/sda4), though ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid could, though the information it told me looks like it was encrypted or something...

Any ideas for finding out the UUID of my swap partition from what you see above, or any other way, so I can add it to my /ect/fstab file?

In other news...I also cannot get any video when I watch youtube videos (I have not tried to view any videos on other sites yet). I think this has something to do with flash or whatnot, though I can hear the audio perfectly fine.

Hey Scott,

Yeah that's really strange... It's interesting that blkid could not detect the UUID for the swap...

It looks like your swap's UUID is:

You can try adding it to your /etc/fstab (gksudo gedit /etc/fstab), here is the line you want to add:

# Swap Partition /dev/sda4
UUID=cac4572e-80fa-48ae-91bf-86a16d310507 none            swap    sw              0       0

save, exit, then run

swapon -a

You may also want to restart your computer.

Hm... My dad had a similar problem when he first installed Ubuntu... I helped him fix it over the phone while I was distracted with about 5 other things so I'm a little fuzzy on how exactly it went... I think it went something like this:

close your browser and open your terminal.
purge your flashplayer and plugin:

sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree mplayer mozilla-mplayer

reinstall your flashplayer and plugin

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree mplayer mozilla-mplayer

Also, if you don't already have it, install the codecs, medibuntu, and ubuntu-restricted-extras

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/jaunty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install non-free-codecs ubuntu-restricted-extras

Let me know if that fixes it or not.

p.s. nice quote.
