Comment 72 for bug 508516

Shoot and dang... and many other expletives.

Of course. you are perfectly correct. I had forgotten that I had installed uswsusp. I thought that it was insignificant as I could see no difference earlier without bootchart. But now I am not sure. When I remove uswsusp (apt-get remove uswsusp), my machine will not even hibernate at all. I did not try suspend. When I reinstall uswsusp then the hibernate and resume work just fine. Please try installing this piece of software and see if your machine will also hibernate and resume.

uswsusp is a replacement for suspend. But I did not think that it had actually been activated as I could see no mention of it in the scripts that run suspend and hibernate. But I guess it is installed and activated somehow. It also gets installed in the initram image so it probably affects the resume process as well. I am pretty sure that I did not install any scripts that launch uswsusp, but to be sure I need someone else to try the installation and then the hibernate resuem (pm-hibernate and after the machine hibernates.... push the power button).

I need to look into this further... of course... more work!!! :-) But progress is being made... slowly! :-)
