In those cases where hibernation failed: was a VirtualBox-VM running/loaded?
I don't know.
Yesterday it failed again, and again, and again... it was impossible to hibernate. And the kernel oopsed. And yes, this time an instance of vmplayer was running. I didn't notice at the time; I went out, later updated the machine and rebooted it.
OK, so you use vmplayer and not VirtualBox?
Right.
OK. When you have loaded a VM could you do a cat /proc/meminfo in a terminal and post the result? You will see something like this: cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 11950220 kB MemFree: 7358740 kB MemAvailable: 8947212 kB Buffers: 1468840 kB Cached: 769932 kB SwapCached: 487700 kB Active: 2167672 kB Inactive: 2211548 kB Active(anon): 2024696 kB Inactive(anon): 563616 kB Active(file): 142976 kB Inactive(file): 1647932 kB Unevictable: 32 kB Mlocked: 32 kB SwapTotal: 10713084 kB SwapFree: 9199480 kB Dirty: 12 kB Writeback: 0 kB AnonPages: 1845744 kB Mapped: 443116 kB Shmem: 447864 kB Slab: 114916 kB SReclaimable: 69304 kB SUnreclaim: 45612 kB KernelStack: 7968 kB PageTables: 52160 kB [...]
Just a tid-bit from my experience, and not with hibernation ...
If *I* try to shut down the machine, and *I* am running VB, it kills the shutdown attempt.
That's OK with me because one probably wants to shut down the VM cleanly or save it before one shuts down the host.
Yes, as long as it tells me.
If *someone else* tries to shut down the machine, and *I* am running VB (or vice versa) then VB gets killed, and I lose my session.
I think it's possible to dis-allow shutdown in a multiple user environment. No? ;)
Not trivially, no.
Yast/Security Center/Boot Settings/Shutdown Behaviour of KDM Login Manager: "Only root" or "Nobody" Not too difficult either. ;)
