hibernate problem ubuntu 9.04

Hi:
I'm running 9.04 on a HP Pavilion.
Hibernate works fine for me.

Steve.

     Not familiar with the Acer Aspire 5100; search on the internet suggests it is a laptop (therefore this seems high priority). Don't see anything in the advertisements on the 'net, but assuming it is Energy Star Compliant? Not sure if I can help personally, but thinking this issue needs a little more info at least.

Well as I said I am using ubunu linux 9.04 Acer Aspire 5100 is a laptop I think it is because of Ati Radeon Xpress 200m but I am not sure.

Please go up to the top taskbar and click on

Applications - Accessories - Terminal

and into the terminal/command window/console try typing

free -m

and copy&paste the results into here. I think maybe your Ram is less than your swap size so i think we may need to increase the size of your swap. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq

It's usually easier just to resize your partitions to make the linux-swap partition a bit larger.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Thank you for your interest in solving my problem ,but my ram is bigger than Swap

Yep, that could well be the problem. The contents of ram gets copied into the linux-swap partition on your hard-drive and then when the machine tries to startup again it tries to get everything back from linux-swap. As the swap isn't large enough to contain all of the ram then it seems you're running into trouble when a lot of your ram is actively being used. Linux-swap should be between twice ram and ram, below that lower limit you're going to face problems like this.

If you go up to the top taskbar and click on

System - Administration

can you see an item "Partition Editor", if not then keep going down to Synaptic Package Manager and use that to find and install Gparted. If it is there please let us know the information it gives in the bottom pane, so that we can see which partition to resize smaller in order to give linxu-swap more room.

Good luck and regards from

I'lll try too give you a screenshot of Gparted

well I cannot but i'l try to reproduce the information t says the folowing:

/dev/sda1 ntfs 8,97
/dev/sda2 ntfs /media/disk 8,31
/dev/sda3 ext3 / 13,3 gb
/dev/sda4 linux-swap 1,65
by the way I forgot to tell you installed the 8.04 version of ubuntu
 it enters hibernate but whei Wake back I experience some video problems the side near panels is pink about 2-3 px

Yes, sorry about that limitation in launchpad answer section - bug-squad can receive attachments but we can't :(

Anyway it looks like if sda3 has enough free space then you could resize that down by say 800Mb and then resize sda4 to fill that space. Hopefully that should completely fix the problem.

To do the resizing you'll need to do this from a LiveCd session and right click on sda3 to "unmount" it first. The equivalent for sda4 si to do "SwapOff" - that should then let you do the resizing
Good luck and regards form
