Public bug reported:
I have two different installations from the Ubuntu 6.06 i386 Live CD.
Both of them suffered from the same problem: the swap space was too
small for the hibernate function to work properly.
Case #1: IBM ThinkPad 600E with 6.5Gb drive, with all old partitions
removed before (re-) starting the Live CD. RAM is on the order of 256Mb;
selected "use entire disk /dev/hda" and let the partitioner do its
magic. It created a swap partition which is around 450Mb which is
apparently insufficient. On a freshly booted system, I can hibernate,
but once I start up Firefox, I can't. (It also fails to start programs
-- I can't even run two instances of terminal, apparently because of too
little swap.)
Case #2: Dell Latitude C640, dual-boot with Windows XP. This is more
vague because it's a few months since I installed it; I can check
specifics at home. Guesstimate 256MB RAM, 4GB disk for Ubuntu, in the
end? There was a spare unused partition which I initially installed on,
but it was definitely too small. (The installer didn't say anything
about that but I got error messages from swsusp when I tried to
hibernate.) Then I took the D: drive from Windows and reran the Live CD
installer from scratch, specifying 400Mb swap manually. This too proved
insufficient for suspending while running Firefox and a couple of
terminals, so I had to resize partitions once more.
Can you please flag this as "Need info" so I'll remember to fill in the
missing details when I have access to these machines again? Thanks.
