[Bug 578952] [NEW] Hibernation is broken in ubuntu-desktop

Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop

I don't know if ubuntu-desktop is the appropriate package to file this
against. Please re-target if needed.

I start with a minimal, up-to-date Ubuntu Lucid install, with a working
root account (i.e. you can log in as root). I "apt-get install ubuntu-
desktop", and then when all that's done, I use adduser(8) to create a
new, normal user.

After rebooting, I log in as that normal user, and get the regular
Ubuntu desktop. I go to the corner menu, and select "Hibernate." The
screen fades to black, you hear disk activity as everything gets paged
out to disk, and then the system shuts off. So far, so good.

I then turn on the system. And instead of something different happening,
where the hibernated session is restored, I see the regular bootup
process, leading to the regular login screen. As if I had shut down the
system normally beforehand.

I suspect the user account structure (working root account + plainly
ordinary "custom" user account) has something to do with why hibernation
isn't working, since that's the only notably uncommon aspect of this
system.
