A simple 'dpkg-reconfigure uswsusp' (and answering with the correct values) would have been enough. Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

The line you're looking for will be: resume device = /dev/sda8 Yes, unfortunately just changing that didn't do the trick. just changing that line. Perhaps some others on this list can help, as well. Well, OK, I did some research on google and found this: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/resume-could-not-stat-the-resume-device-file-573538/ The guy asking the question had a similar setup to me, but he broke it in the installer, not by messing with swap because he felt like it with fdisk or whatever. Anyway removing uswsusp did the trick. Since I used purge to remove it a reinstall of it went great. The guy on that forum just removed it and not purged it, so that is why his reinstall didn't work. Its all fixed now, thanks for the reply though. -- Daniel Dalton http://members.iinet.net.au/~ddalton/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The line you're looking for will be: resume device = /dev/sda8 There appears to be other important configuration information in here beyond the location of the device. You may need to do some more research before just changing that line. Perhaps some others on this list can help, as well. -- Chris
swap help please
Hi, OK, I made a mistake and deleted my extended partition containing my swap partition. So I recreated extended and created a partition for swap under extended (so swap is sda5) then I did: sudo mkswap /dev/sda5 which went ok I think. Then I did: sudo swapon -a Then I did: free -m showing that swap was now working. My swap partition is 1.2 gb and I have 1 gb of ram. Oh and the swap partition does not have a label if that matters. So when I reboot my computer it stops and asks me this question and once I answer continues booting: "could not stat the resume device file '/dev/sda8'" I typ in /dev/sda5 and it works ok. So I imagine its trying to use sda8 as swap so how do I fix this? fstab is ok since it says sda5 which is what I want and when I grep /etc for sda8 it looks ok as well... So how can I stop this error message from coming up at start up and how do I tell it to use sda5 by default?
