[clue-tech] Ubuntu and suspend on laptops

[Sean LeBlanc]

Did anyone else have to do anything special to get Ubuntu to suspend and
wake up properly?

I have the suspend option on the window that comes up when you hit the power
button, but on my HP Pavilion 8000, it goes dark, still seems to actually be
on, and also never wakes up.

I installed the hibernate package, BTW. When searching ubuntu forums, I
found someone pointing to this article for getting suspend to work:

This is talking about Linux in a generic sense, and I'm wondering if I
really have to go to those ends to make this work on Ubuntu. If it actually
works to do all this and it's the only way, not a big deal.
