I solved my problem by adding RAM - there was 512MB, and I added 1GB. After this, to my surprise, hibernation worked again. So it seems the cause was a shortage of memory. I'm rather surprised, as I have (and had) 2GB swap space. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Yes, I am running kernel-2.6.33.8-149.fc13.i686 . But I probably did not express myself properly; I also tried the previous 2 kernels, and had the same hibernation problem with both, from which I deduce that the problem has nothing to do with the kernel. Actually I only have this problem on one Thinkpad T43 laptop; hibernation works perfectly on a second T43. I suppose my main difficulty is that I don't know how I can find out what is going on in the laptop at the moment of failure, since the only way I can see to bring the machine back to life is to press the power-button, and then re-boot. There doesn't seem to be anything odd in /var/log/messages after this to explain the problem. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Problem with hibernation
My laptop has ceased hibernating. When I click on f=>Leave=>Hibernate the sleep-moon starts flashing and the small hyphen-like symbol on the top left comes on as usual, but as far as I can see nothing is written to disk. At this point it becomes impossible to communicate with the machine. Ctrl-Alt-F2 does bring on a text window, with a login: request, but if I enter my username and press Return I am not asked for a password. Whatever I type appears on the screen, but with no effect. I tried stopping the NetworkManager and openvpn services which seemed to me the most likely causes of the problem, but that had no effect. I wonder if anyone has had the same problem? And if so, whether there is a solution? I'm running the current kernel, but I tried the last 2 kernels without effect. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
