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
