Re: resume from hibernate
Hello! On 09/25/2010 12:30 AM, *Hugo Vanwoerkom* wrote, and I quote (in part): But I'm missing something: hibernate saves memory to swap and turns off the machine. Then to resume I hit the power button and grub appears, I select the partition and it boots, finding fault with the not unmounted partitions :-( Do you have defined a correct (swap) partition for the resume in /etc/default/grub? Something like: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=vga=791 resume=/dev/sda2 where is especially important part 'resume=/dev/sda2' ('/dev/sda2' is swap partition on my thinkpad)... -- Petr Voralek(JabberID: na...@jabber.cz) { Headline: Dead man found in cemetery } signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
