Suspend-to-Disk fails because of insufficient swap space

[okurz]

Trying Suspend-to-Disk fails when not enoug space is available on the swap partition.
An obvious problem, but maybe the power management script can check if enough swap space is available before trying to hibernate. The problem appeared after upgrading the system memory from 2 to 4GB while the swap partition is kept at the (previously correct) size of 2GB. Activating "Turn off computer->Suspend to Disk" fails after some time with a black window and a message in text-console showing "Not enough space in swap partition" (or something similar). So far I did not try to reproduce this problem.

Hi okurz,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 555065

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
