I have installed uswsusp, and nothing changed at all in the default setting, i.e. if I hibernate from gnome it works as usual without any novelty. However I saw it fiddling with mkinitrd during installation.

If I use the command "s2disk" it uses uswsusp, giving me a textual progress information which is already very comfortable, but on resume it hangs with I suspect 100% cpu usage, since my laptop fan becomes audible.

This is in feisty which I am testing. In edgy, it was almost the same, i.e. I installed uswsusp and nothing happened, but once I tried to get swsusp2 from trevino's unofficial repository. I saved the list of all packages and the list of all modifications I was going to make, and after finding that swsusp2 didn't work, I reverted _every_ package to the edgy version, and using normal suspend from gnome, *** I HAD THE GRAPHICAL PROGRESSBAR *** which I still have now in my edgy partition.

So it seems the machinery is all there, only something stupid must be done to activate it. Is there an howto? Any chances to get this in feisty?
