This is a solution for if you see the Mint logo and the back and forth going "thingy" but it disappears and you see text, the first line being
Reading files needed to boot
You also probably have problems with the "sleep states" of your computer - the system will go into hibernate normally, but would never boot back to where it was.
This is an UUID problem - for more info on the pros and cons of UUID see
http://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php ... _a_problem and
http://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php ... annot_boot
Please make a backup of your system first if at all possible
This is because the UUID of the swap partition no longer is correct in initramfs
Surprisingly small changes can make the UUID change
Run
- Code: Select all
sudo blkid
Compare the UUID "numbers" you get with all UUID used in fstab (and menu.lst if you do not use gfxgrub) just to be on the safe side when you're at it - it's not part of the solution (except possibly swap)
Change initramfs
- Code: Select all
gksu gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
You probably have a different UUID there than from blkid - copy the correct UUID - watch out for the " in terminal
You need to have initramfs-tools installed and they are by default in Elyssa
Update the initramfs.
- Code: Select all
sudo update-initramfs -u
In the next reboot usplash will be back in it's full glory and hibernate should work
