Well, it worked for 15 years to have a swap partition half the size of RAM, so there has been a change...
And I simply do office work on this laptop.
Maybe the 'workload' changed? I am not sure how reliable it is, but I'd assume that if you happen to 'consume' less than 4GB of RAM at the time you try to hibernate, this works - if you consume more, it fails. This might well also point to an application that is leaking memory - or an application simply making use of more memory as long as it's around (caching). I'd recommend to have a quick look at 'free' before you 'hibernate' in order to be able to verify if above statement might have anything to do with it. Possibly also check which application might have increased its memory usage. If it's beyond normal, this one might warrant a bug report. Good luck chasing that one Cheers Dominique
