[TuxOnIce-users] Problem hibernating on system that worked for ages

[Dominik Stadler]

Hi,

I have an Ubuntu system (Lenovo ThinkPad T500) where Tuxonice hibernation
worked for ages. However suddenly it stopped working yesterday and I can not
find out how to fix it. I feel that it needs to be something simple as it
was working so well before, but cannot make any sense out of the things I
see in logfiles.

I use the latest kernel from the TOI-PPA, 2.6.32-24.42~ppa3.

I accidentially mounted the hibernated partition once while booting into a
Live-CD, but did not write any file, just looked at one existing file and
then unmounted the partition again. Can this be related?

I am grateful to any hint as to how to reset things here, or at least which
debugging I can enable to shed some more light.

Attached is the output of "hibernate -v 9"

And the system logfiles contain the following, /dev/sda2 is the correct
swap-partition that I used before and it is a working swap device:

Sep 10 19:55:16 dstathink kernel: [41805.984614] TuxOnIce: Unable to find a
signature. Could you have moved a swap file?
Sep 10 19:55:16 dstathink kernel: [41805.984617] TuxOnIce: Block I/O: No
signature found at /dev/sda2.
Sep 10 19:55:16 dstathink kernel: [41805.994408] TuxOnIce 3.2-rc2, with
support for usm, compression, block i/o, swap storage, file storage, userui.
Sep 10 19:55:16 dstathink kernel: [41805.994429] TuxOnIce: Unable to find a
signature. Could you have moved a swap file?
Sep 10 19:55:16 dstathink kernel: [41805.994431] TuxOnIce: Block I/O: No
signature found at /dev/sda2.

I feel that this could be the reason but I have no clue what to do to fix
this...

Thanks... Dominik.
