Hello sir,

   My apologies for contacting you directly, it would seem that I am unable
to properly post a message in line with a specific thread. As a result,
what should have been a single thread is now multiple fragments:

The additional information you had requested:

Information:
Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty)
Kernel Linux 2.6.28-16-generic
GNOME 2.26.1

I was able to record the following error messages:
18042.c: No controller found.
Pm_op(): platform_pm_thaw+0x0/0x50 returns -19
PM: Device i8042 failed to thaw: error -19

I am using a desktop not a lab top. To suspend Ubuntu is simply used the
context menu located to the right of the date and time. I only selected
hibernate, no hardware based methods were used. Power manager preferences
were left at their default options.

I did not know I needed a separate hard drive partition for a swap file. I
assumed the Ubuntu installation process automatically made one based upon
my hardware. It would seem that I was wrong. I am assuming that it should
appear under 'computer:///'

Thank you for your time and effort.
