I have been following this thread for awhile and trying out the instuctions on
my laptop. After clicking the hibernate icon, it does give a readout of some
kind. Mine goes so fast I can't read it but it says something to the effect
it can't find swap. But it goes ahead and hibernates, ...I think! If swap
is needed perhaps what I think is hibernation is something else, although to
get there I click the hibernate icon, like I said.

For info, here is mine:
dell-desktop:~$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 2066040 494400 1571640 0 1588 136804
-/+ buffers/cache: 356008 1710032
Swap: 0 0 0
So if hibernation needs swap, what is my laptop doing? It goes to a blank
screen and to get back on, a pop-up come to request my password then it is
just as it was before with all my open apps in place.
