When *buntu hibernates, it copies the contents of RAM into swap. If you have less swap than ram, hibernation will fail.

But even if I remove every thing so that Ubuntu is not doing anything and none of the windows are populated it STILL complains about swap. I declare Hibernate (on my dual boot) as crazy! Maybe - just maybe -- and this is just a wild guess -- but maybe due to the dual boot it is looking for winswap which it cannot pick up because Ubuntu is running and not XP. But regardless, if that is true there is no way of giving Ubuntu hibernate function a specific swap or even creating a swap specifically for Ubuntu hibernate. So, it is crazy! There is no way out till a new distribution deals with this kind of problem. One thing I will say, ahem, I used the Ubuntu user interface and not a command line. I have seen incomplete user interfaces on this distribution as well as non functional user interaces. DO YOU think I should "sudo pmi action hibernate" or "sudo pm-hibernate" or some other command line???? My version is 7-10 Gutsy. Thanks -- Ted </body> </html>
