Comment:
Due to LP#997711 et. al. clarified suspend and hibernate are two different issues, and preferred package to start is linux.
Usual candidate packages are the kernel (file bugs under the "linux" package) and network-manager.
- === Suspend, Hibernate, and Resume ===
+ === Suspend and Hibernate ===
- Suspend, hibernate, and resume functionality is provided by three different packages:
+ Suspend and hibernate are are treated as two completely different issues, necessitating one bug report for each. While there are many different packages responsible for :
+ * [[#Kernel|The kernel]] implements the actual suspending and resuming and is generally the responsible package when there are any hardware-related failures after resume. Please file all bugs against the package linux first, unless you know exactly the root cause commit in the code for the responsible package. This is how the high majority of suspend/hibernate bugs are due to outdated BIOS, and buggy driver implementations, versus userspace bugs.
* `gnome-power-manager` (in Ubuntu and Edubuntu) is responsible for setting policy on when the system should be suspended or resumed and signaling the system to do so.
* `pm-utils` is responsible for getting the system into a state where it can be suspended or hibernated, and handling any cleanup after resume.
- * [[#Kernel|The kernel]] implements the actual suspending and resuming and is generally the responsible package when there are any hardware-related failures after resume.
If you are unsure which package is causing the problem, a safe bet is the kernel (package 'linux'), ''but make sure the bug title includes "suspend" or "hibernate"''.
