It seems to hibernate, then restarts, going to the login screen, then the password screen, but sometimes skipping the former, then loads. After it loads I get an error message saying ubuntu has failed to hibernbate. So it shuts down but either does or does not resume normally. In either case I get that error message. Thanks for replying!

Hibernate involves powering off, so are you certain it shut down, or did it hibernate but not manage to resume? -- derek -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
