hibernate should fail before rebooting to updated kernel

[Erno Kuusela]

I forgot update-manager updated the kernel and was waiting for reboot, and hibernated.
Hibernating completed successfully but didn't resume (instead performed a regular boot).
This can cause unsaved data to be lost.

> We also need:

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu

Release: 10.10

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center

linux:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2.6.35.27.35
  Version table:
     2.6.35.27.35 0
        500 http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security/main amd64 Packages
     2.6.35.22.23 0
        500 http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main amd64 Packages

3) What you expected to happen

Refuse to hibernate when it is known that resume is impossible due to kernel version mismatch

4) What happened instead

Resume failed

Hi Erno,

If you could also please 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.

this is a kernel packaging/scripts bug so upstream testing doesn't make sense here.

[Roman Vorobets (roman-vorobets)]

Same for me under Ubuntu 11.04 when upgrading from 2.6.38-10 to 2.6.38-11 kernel.
I have found the following thread about handling this within pm-utils:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pm-utils/2010-April/002115.html

[Erno Kuusela (erno-iki)]

Seems this has been discussed at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21492 and a 2009 comment
even discusses how this is handled in Ubuntu kernel package's postinst... maybe it broke somehow since?
