Note that the laptop-mode.conf settings won't help. Ubuntu has taken the laptop-mode-tools package from Debian, ripped its guts out (the part that listens on ACPI events) and failed to mention this anywhere in the config files. By default, the whole thing is even disabled. Again, no mention in the laptop-mode.conf config file. You have to go into /etc/default/acpi-support to even enable the default functionality, with no mention of this in laptop-mode.conf. In the mean time, most of the *other* functionality is still broken. Especially this bit, since it depends on the laptop-mode-tools ACPI events. I might be accused of various things for suggesting this (and people will probably be right), but one could try installing the Debian version , set HIBERNATE_COMMAND=/etc/acpi/hibernate.sh and it'll probably work. The Debian package is in fact fully compatible with Ubuntu, except that it doesn't listen to what acpi-support says -- a good thing IMO.
