Hi,

I have recently updated my Ubuntu 9.10 install to Ubuntu 10.04 and the default kernel to 2.6.32-23 on my Acer Aspire 5738z laptop with 3 GB RAM and Intel GMA 4500m graphics card.

My problem is sometimes the laptop fails to resume after being Suspended to RAM. The problem is not consistent. Most of the time the system resumes properly but then some times it doesn't . It even doesn't respond to the Magic Keys. I am left with no other alternative but to keep the power button pressed till the laptop shuts down.

Any suggestions?

Thanking in advance,

Suspend to ram continues to use current, and hold parts of the system on.Make sure that it's not simply running the battery flat. If you want to stop for any length, hibernate to disk - which uses no power once it's hibernating. You can hibernate for a longer time than suspend.

Ok! But while resuming from Suspend to Disk, my system is taking unusually long time. I have a 3GB system with 1 GB swap, mounted on a separate partition. Should I increase the swap size?
