Test:

echo disk > /sys/power/state

grep PM: /var/log/dmesg

Disk Encryption and hibernate

Verify resume device:

/etc/default/grub:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="resume=/dev/mapper/cryptswap1”

update-grub

/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume:
RESUME=/dev/mapper/cryptswap1

sudo update-initramfs -u -k all

If it’s still not working try testing without encrypted swap (/dev/disk/by-label/swap).

Hibernate under Ubuntu often doesn’t work or stops working after a dist upgrade.

There’s several method’s to hibernate (and suspend): uswsup, tuxonince etc – we won’t be using any of those here.

Steps to fix hibernate

1. Check logs /var/log/pm-powersave.log (and /var/log/pm-suspend.log)
2. Check if you have enough swap
3. Try removing all connected usb devices first before hibernating (my XBOX 360 Wireless receiver stops hibernate from working, see script below)
4. System is hibernating but not resuming? Check /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume (and do a update-initramfs -k all -u)
5. Still not working? sudo apt-get remove hibernate uswsusp (just to be sure)
6. More info: http://chriseiffel.com/everything-linux/step-by-step-how-to-get-hibernate-working-for-linux-ubuntu-11-04-mint-11/

This script disables all usb controllers using UHCI on hibernate and enables them on resume.
