[Bug 35174] Re: ThinkPad X60 cannot resume from suspend to RAM

Paul: I got suspend to ram working, which wasn't working before.

I had another go at hibernate (which I had tried before without success)
without success.  It would look like it was about to hibernate and then
go back to the screensaver.  When I looked at the logs, it was
complaining that I had no swap partition.

This seemed odd since I had certainly configured one during the install.  I tried a few things:
    $ sudo swapon -a
    swapon: /dev/sda2: Invalid argument
    $ sudo file -s /dev/sda2
    /dev/sda2: Linux/i386 swap file (new style) with SWSUSP1 image

I guess this is the left over from my previous attempts to suspend.  I
was able to enable the swap partition after reformatting it with mkswap
and doing "swapon -a".

This time when I tried to hibernate, it wrote stuff to disk and turned
the system off.  However, when I rebooted, it didn't resume from the
hibernation image.  The following was in /var/log/messages:

    May 29 20:27:54 morbo kernel: [4294695.451000] Unable to find swap-
space signature

At this point, I needed to rerun mkswap before I could enable the swap
space again.

As for the logout dialog being displayed on resume from suspend issue, I
haven't been able to reproduce it after updating.  Do you still want me
to report the bug, given that I probably won't be able to help debug the
issue?
