[ubuntu] Text/fonts display garbled after hibernation resume

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I have just installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS as a primary ex4 partition (as a sole OS) and set the swap partition over double my RAM which was 3 GB (Swap partition is currently 10 GB). The thing that I just experienced is having the fonts and texts just garbled after resuming hibernation, I was wondering if there is an incompatibility with my graphic card driver or something else ? ---> This is the Snapshot of the current OS view Thanks for your time, Amir (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] Text/fonts display garbled after hibernation resume

I've been trying for some time now, to get hibernation working in Ubuntu 12.04 on my Dell XPS17. I dualboot Windows 7 and Ubuntu, each having their own partition and one shared partition for all my data and documents.

As I would like to be able to swtich from ubuntu to windows without losing all the things I was currently doing in Ubuntu, I would like to be able to use hibernation.

I'm running ubuntu 11.10 on a dell laptop and after 3-4 hibernation cycles (switch off-resume) I can no longer hibernate because there is not enough free memory in the swap partition.

I run Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop, with an encrypted home folder + swap partition. Before I had this encrypted setup, I used to have my hibernation enabled. I found this documentation on how to enable hibernation with an encrypted swap.

I run Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop, with an encrypted home folder + swap partition. Before I had this encrypted setup, I used to have my hibernation enabled. I found this documentation on how to enable hibernation with an encrypted swap.

It's safe to ignore the message. In my case, it complains that I don't have a swap partition, but I don't use hibernation.

Check your resume entries for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX or GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub are pointing to the correct swap partition.  After correcting you will need to write the changes to your grub.conf:sudo update-grubIt should output that it found the swap partition.

Hibernation fails with encrypted 3.81gb swap - memory 8gbSuspend works well but hibernation fails. The hibernation process shuts the laptop down but it never comes backup until its shut down again via holding the power button down for 4 seconds. On restart orphan files are found by the system in /home and automatically deleted.

I have Linux Mint 14 installed as my only OS. I have one extended partition containing /swap, / and /home, and I have some unallocated space on my drive.

I'm guessing that Mint decided to put this all on an extended partition instead of three primary partitions.

So I want to build Linux From Scratch using some of my unallocated space.

I want to install another Linux distribution (Fedora) besides Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop. As I like to hibernate my system and as I want to use this feature on both installed Linux distributions, how many swap partitions do I need? And if I need multiple swap partitions, how do I configure them?

Edit/Clarification: I want to be able to hibernate both operating systems simultaneously.
