John Bayly, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . Please note that one will need to install Ubuntu to test hibernate, as at this time, hibernate does not work in a live environment. If the issue remains, could you please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:
apport-collect -p linux REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER If reproducible, could you please provide the information following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspendHibernateResume ? If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc7 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Package changed: acpid (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/808698 Title: System freeze when hibernate fails Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: $ swapon -s; free -m Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/sda5 partition 1998844 5784 1 /dev/sdb5 partition 4193276 0 0 total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2012 1961 50 0 17 474 -/+ buffers/cache: 1470 542 Swap: 6046 5 6041 /var/log/syslog snippet Jul 11 10:08:58 BaylyJ4 kernel: [ 888.017366] PM: Creating hibernation image: Jul 11 10:08:58 BaylyJ4 kernel: [ 888.020009] PM: Need to copy 218761 pages Jul 11 10:08:58 BaylyJ4 kernel: [ 888.020009] PM: Normal pages needed: 157118 + 1024, available pages: 70060 Jul 11 10:08:58 BaylyJ4 kernel: [ 888.020009] PM: Not enough free memory Jul 11 10:08:58 BaylyJ4 kernel: [ 888.020009] PM: Error -12 creating hibernation image When hibernating, if there isn't enough free memory, the hibernate file cannot be created (as expected), however instead of the system reporting this and returning to the previous state, it appears to freeze allowing no input - Ctrl + Alt + F1 doesn't give me a shell login prompt. The machine will remain running indefinitely and has to be power cycled. Upon restart, I am given a standard login prompt. Expected behaviour would be that the OS returns the user to a state where they can safely close any critical applications. As an aside, I'm investigating why my system will not hibernate when I have a total of 6GBi swap (2GBi + 4GBi), of which 5MBi is used, and only 2GBi of RAM installed.
