No hibernate option on MSI GX600 laptop

[wen87]

Yesterday, I installed Lynx on my MSI GX600 laptop and was sad to see there is no hibernate option available from the menu. I am using the nvidia driver, setting an option in xorg.conf did not work out.
Since many users experience hibernate problems with Lynx, I suppose it is not necessary to post any further information. If you need any, however, don't hesitate to answer.

Thanks,

If you provide more information on your problem, your bug can then be assigned to the correct package and looked at in greater detail.

Sure, what files etc. do you need? Sorry, I'm a relative beginner...

Here is an exact description of the problem:
While Suspend-to-RAM works after a recent pm-utils fix, there is no hibernate option in the GNOME menu. Executing pm-hibernate from the terminal results either
a) in a system apparently hibernating correctly, but then booting from scratch (and checking HDD drives!) or
b) in a message "cannot hibernate".

Marked as invalid: I had activated the "encrypted home" feature; but hey, why is this issue still not fixed and the feature offered in the alternate setup? I didn't know hibernate was broken by simply enabling encryption.
