Hibernation support gone

[Michael V. De Palatis]

One quick question: How long have you had Ubuntu installed? I noticed
that with my Inspiron 6000, hibernation works erratically at best if
not using suspend2 hibernation. That is, sometimes it works, sometimes
it doesn't, but it doesn't work more often than it does.

If you *have* been using Ubuntu for a while, then that is a big
mystery. I do suggest looking into suspend2, though. It seems to work
pretty well, though I have had a few issues from time to time with it,
as well (mainly they're issues due to my laziness, though, rather than
actual bugs with suspend2).
