Hibernate LInux Mint 10

Just tested it and worked fine. Laptop powered down completely. When I switched back on it booted into my last session with my brower open and a test folder I left open. Perhaps switch to Linux Mint 11?

I have a Compaq CQ60 Laptop

This should give you the stats of your memory and swap.

EDIT:
You need at least 2x the swap space compare to your RAM, so it should be in the 2Gb region.
The reason for the swap question is that your disk state gets saved to swap (on the hard drive) and if there is too little swap it will fail.

In the past we had incompatibility with kernel drivers and various motherboards, so lets take it a step at a time ans see what we come up with.

It seems that were a select few people who had trouble with hibernation in Mint 10, and some of the reported the problem fixed in Mint 11 without giving details as to what was broken in the first place.

I did however find a couple of things for you to try, if this does not work you can PM me your address and I'll post you a Mint 11 DVD.

This is going to be daunting for you as a newbie to Linux, so tell me if you are up to it:

It seems related to the older Mint 10, PM me your details and I'll send you Linux Mint 11.

It should be better than hacking the system.
