Hibernate/Suspend works after the installation, but _not_ if you switch to the restricted driver and also _not_ if you install the latest ati driver as mentioned here: <a href="http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide." title="http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide." rel="nofollow">wiki.cchtml.com/index.php...</a><br /> <br /> So I will do more rebooting until I find a solution.</p> Hello,

HP NC8230, ATI Radeon Mobility X600 with open source drivers. So it is not only affecting restricted drivers, unfortunately.</p> Neither suspend (does not resume) nor hibernate (hangs) works for me.

I've done this before on a different computer (using a much more detailed and difficult method). I just didn't feel like I had time right now to reinstall all my data.

It is pretty neat - at bootup it asks for a password, and then I've set it to auto-login, so it goes straight to the destkop (though it wants me to enter the password for my keyring next, which I thought you could turn off... but I suspect that that is incompatible with autologin or something).<br /> <br /> Now if anyone pinches my laptop they don't get anything :)<br /> <br /> But I also did my first successful upgrade on my desktop. I've always avoided them because it is quicker to download the torrent of the CD and install from that. This is the first time I'd noticed (or you've been able to) upgrade from a CD (the alternate one) so I gave that a shot.</p> I did a clean install on my laptop using the alternative CD because I wanted to try out th full disk encryption (all my important stuff lives in an svn repository somewhere).
