I installed Ubuntu 11.04 today and after the first hibernation my Dell Studio 1747 only wakes up to a blank display. I don't see anything, not even the mouse pointer and can't switch to a console.

Are there any known bugs with the dell chipsets, the ATI graphics or the broadcom wireless card? (I installed the 3rd party drivers for ATI and broadcom.)

Update

I chose to encrypt my personal data. I created a swap partition on my 2nd hard drive (the first where Ubuntu is installed is an SSD), but I'm not sure if that swap is in use.

swapon -s

  • Same with my Dell Latitude D620 (laptop) :p It just seems to have lost contact with the hard disk. – RobinJ Jun 09 '11 at 19:12
  • I switched back to Debian a few days ago and tonight my laptop went to sleep - and came back when I switched it on this morning. Debian FTW! ;-) Can't say how long it took, because I didn't pay attention to it. But the display was there about 10 minutes later. – cringe Aug 24 '11 at 07:19
  • 10 minutes to wake up? O.o Then why would you use hibernate? Much quicker to just boot it up. – RobinJ Aug 24 '11 at 10:32
  • That's exactly what I'm doing. But 10min was only the time I was away, actually it's faster and only takes the display about 1min to come back from sleep. – cringe Aug 29 '11 at 11:09
  • This question should instead be filed as a bug report, and as such is off-topic, thanks! Instructions here. – Panther Feb 27 '12 at 19:33
