[Cialug] Ubuntu 11.04 problems

[Dan Hockey]

Finally made it to the command line, on the MINI it's (CTRL-ALT-Fn-F1)
For 11.04 the command line formatting is

sudo /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate

Which that part worked but when waking up from hibernation all I got was a screen full
of text based garbage and other strange characters.

CTRL-ALT-Fn-F7) caused some really bazaar things to happen, such as only displaying
the right two inches of the desktop and flashing random parts of the desktop on the left
3/4 of the screen. 

I also tried

sudo /usr/sbin/pm-suspend 

and it worked without locking up, then I used (CTRL-ALT-Fn-F7)
to get back to the UI without any ill effects.

I upgraded to 11.04 only to discover a problem with hibernation. My Dell Mini crashes when waking up from hibernation, displaying lots of garbage on the upper left of the display sometimes the mouse pointer is displayed, sometimes it doesn't.


What happens if you try switching to a text console (CTRL-ALT-F1) before hibernating? I'm not sure on Ubuntu, but on OpenSuSE 11.x I have to use pm-hibernate and pm-suspend to perform those actions from a virtual console. If I stay on the graphical console when suspending/hibernating, the display doesn't come back to life. I've not investigated further, but I suspect it is the Nvidia driver.
