[Bug 604559] Re: hibernation is unreliable

 

matteo sisti sette, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't
been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12-rc2

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  hibernation is unreliable

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed.

  When I hibernate (whether manually or automatically because of
  critically low battery), any of these three things can happen:

  A) it hibernates succesfully, and then resumes succesfully at the next boot
  B) It appears to hibernate succesfully, but then when you boot, it silently fails to resume, and it just boots as if it had been shut down. You loose your session and all your unsaved data.
  C) It gets stuck _before_ it completes hibernation. It gets stuck at an empty black screen with a text cursor blinking at the upper-left corner, and stays there forever. You have to shut it down by holding the power button. Obviously it will fail to resume at the next boot.

  This can cause data loss and should be considered critical.
  May be related to #50437 but i can't tell. I didn't touch anything related to partitions.
  I think there's more than one bug here. The resulting issue is that you just can't trust hibernation.
