Can you attach the output of the dmesg command after an attempt at hibernating?

Output of the dmesg command after an attempt at hibernating.

[Tobias (tobias-j)]

Is it a problem, that I have 1 GB RAM and just 256 MB Swap?

[Matthew Garrett (mjg59)]

Yes. Hibernate will not work unless you have more swap than RAM.

[Tobias (tobias-j)]

I'll make my SWAP bigger, but I thing hibernate.sh should check this and write a
proper errormessage.

[Tobias (tobias-j)]

OK, I have now 5 GB SWAP and 1 GB RAM. But still the same error.

[Tobias (tobias-j)]

Do you need any further information or can I do anything to help you to solve
this bug?

Btw, my Hardware-DB-Sumission-ID is: 46d3b70b5d1b14f79e66312ea1a78b6e

[Matthew Garrett (mjg59)]

What does /proc/swaps look like on your system?

[Tobias (tobias-j)]

Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/hda4 partition 5116692 0 -1

[Matthew Garrett (mjg59)]

And /sys/power/resume ?

[Tobias (tobias-j)]

cat /sys/power/resume
3:4

[Matthew Garrett (mjg59)]

If you try with the latest kernel (2.6.12-9), does hibernation still fail and if
so can you attach the output of the dmesg command?

[Tobias (tobias-j)]

Created an attachment (id=4068)
dmesg with kernel 2.6.12-9-686-smp

hibernate.sh does not just starts the screensaver anymore, but just set the
screen in power-save mode. Now I habe to reset the PC to get back. :(

[Tobias (tobias-j)]

Created an attachment (id=4153)
hibernate-test.sh with some echos

I've added some echos to the hibernate.sh, enamed it to hibernate-test.sh and
started it with "hibernate-test.sh > test.txt"

[Tobias (tobias-j)]

Created an attachment (id=4154)
The result from "hibernate-test.sh > test.txt"

[Matthew Garrett (mjg59)]

I'm afraid that we need the output of dmesg after a failed hibernate in order to
be able to debug this. If you edit /etc/default/acpi-support and change the
USE_DPMS line to

USE_DPMS=false

do you get any useful looking output?

[Tobias (tobias-j)]

This is the last thing I see before the monitor goes to the powersave mode

[Tobias (tobias-j)]

I've just tested it with the -386 kernel (Normally I use the smp kernel.) and
the suspend to disk looked fine, but the wake up doesn't work. The PC made a
restart just after decompressing the memory.

I just want to add that I have the same bug on my amilo 1425. I get the same
error as Tobias.
I will be glad to help sort this bug out.

Output from hibernate.sh with echo

Here is my output when I run the hibernate.sh with the extra echos

[Tobias (tobias-j)]

I now switched to Draper and it still dosn't work. Is ther anything you need to fix this bug?

[Tobias (tobias-j)]

A year later and with 6.10 - the Edgy Eft it stll doesn't work.

/proc/swaps is empty and /sys/power/resume is 0:0

Here is the dmesg output after trying hibernate.sh today:

[Scott Robinson (scott-ubuntu)]

You don't have a swap partition, so hibernation won't work out of the box.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

Are you still seeing this bug with recent versions of Ubuntu? Please retest with Ubuntu 9.10.
