Hibernation problem due to problems with swap partition?

[beneedict]

Hej all!

I tried to use hibernation/suspend to disk but following a few seconds of blank screen hard disk activity the screen switches back to normal.
In solving the problem I stumbled upon swap space. So I have 2GB of RAM and I specified slightly more than those 2GB as swap space during my recent installation of Pardus 2008.2. I still feel little doubtful about this swap being really used for two reasons:

- ksysguard gives the right swap memory capacity in the graphs BUT says there is no swap memory available
- in fstab I found following entry regarding the swap drive

Code:

LABEL=PARDUS_SWAP    none             swap      defaults,sw          0 0

Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? and how could I find out the right sda* drive number to eventually enter the swap drive to mtab/fstab manually?

Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Hello beneedict,

You can use cfdisk partitionning utility as root in a terminal to find out the right sdx number.
Your fstab line for swap is OK.
Have you solved the hibernation problem yourself or is it still there ?

You can find the right sd? number with K Menu > Programs > System > GParted.
In the bug report you can find the necessary changes to /etc/fstab.

The second link in Comment  #12 of the bug report is a very interesting document.
With this you can add a swap-file (not a swap-partition) to your existing Pardus.
