5 The sad thing about hibernation is, that it has always kinda been some
6 kind of lackluster in the kernel and quite disappointing. It is a kind
7 of area which does not get much love in the kernel for at least over one
8 decade.
9
10 he number of computers it does not work is bigger than the number of
11 computers it does work on correctly.

13 At least last time I tried it it was quite like that. Hibernation is
14 disabled by default on Ubuntu 14.04, because it is so unreliable and
15 broken.
16
17 In fact, there are three different kind of implementations around namely:
18
19 a) the thing in the main line kernel, which seems to work quite subpar,
20 which is being used by the utility swsusp,
21 b) something in the user space being called uswsusp,
22 c) and an alternative implementation for the kernel being named "Tux on
23 Ice."
24
25 Many do consider Tux on Ice the most reliable way to get hibernation up
26 and running on Linux, unfortunately development seems to be stalled
27 since always about one year and it is not part of the main line kernel.
28
29 So if you want to get this working reliable, good luck. You'll need it.
