Hibernate not working 14.04
I searched everywhere and while there are guides none say what to do if a step wont work, so this isn't a duplicate as far as I know. If it is I'll take this down but PLEASE read the full question first.
I used this guide.
So I do sudo pm-hibernate
and then my screen goes to the hibernate screen say:
snap-shoting
snapshot done
writing(or something like that)____0%
and then hangs there forever. My swap is seen and is 9GB, I have 6GB RAM. It is a dual boot with Windows 7.
Solution 1:
To know your swap partition, run swapon -s
. Let's say it reports /dev/sda6
.
Open /etc/default/grub
and find the line with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=
. This is the list of kernel command line options GRUB will pass to Linux. Add resume=/dev/sda6
, so the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nosplash enable_mtrr_cleanup=1"
will now look like this
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nosplash enable_mtrr_cleanup=1 resume=/dev/sda6"
Save the file and run this to enable the new configuration:
sudo update-grub2
