I am facing hibernation error with the mentioned OS. I get the following error while trying to hibernate and while trying to resume from hibernate.

Although the error is displayed briefly on a black screen when hibernation is activated, the PC successfully hibernates. But when i try to resume the PC, i get the same error on a black screen, stays for sometime and the screen turns black without booting into the desktop.

Linux techies....i need your help

This is a Known Bug, which is yet to be fixed, please track the progress on launchpad which is Ubuntu's bug tracking system

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...er/+bug/298804

I hate Ubuntu because of this many silly bugs, thats why i left it

Hmm i just tried one so-called fix and screwed up big time. Am about to remove Ubuntu 8.10 from my PC tonight

I also removed Ubuntu because of some error like this. Ubnutu 8.04 is said to be stable with less problems, but I cannot install it because of some initramfs error. Now I am trying my luck with Mandriva Linux One 2008 Spring KDE (Mandriva Linux One 2009 KDE is a little buggy). I am still searching for a way to connect to internet using Bridge mode in it. Other than that everything is working fine, the interface is cool and seem like it's more stable than Ubuntu 8:10 and Kubuntu 8:10.

ArchLinux seems exciting. Do we get all the packages installed, just like Ubuntu. My working knowledge of Linux is limited to Fedora and Ubuntu. Will ArchLinux be appropriate for me? I can be termed as an intermediate user in the above mentioned Fedora and Ubuntu releases..

Archer

It seems ArchLinux is the new trend after Ubuntu. It's doesn't seem impressive on first look. I have never used it. The only Linux distros I have used are Red Hat Linux [installed and used a little], Ubuntu [almost intermediate user], Fedora [installed and uninstalled only], Freespire [installed and used a little], Kubuntu [not a newbie] and now Madriva [total newbie].

Just read the following in a website regarding Archlinux...15 mins after inserting the installation medium, u will be looking at a terminal window.

Well that explains a lot..

ArchLinux follows KISS(Keep it Simple) pricipal, so its default install, core system only. No X server would be installed.which means you can install each and every package based on your needs.

I like it because of its Rolling release model, no need to wait for latest versions like in Ubuntu.

Command Line Skills are required to play about with Arch, which i am badly lacking. Better luck some other time

Gary4gar

dude,
Don't fear the command line, its actuality very easy to use.

Example:
*If i have install a new program on my PC, like I want to install gimp. so i need to enter this
rest is managed automatically by my system.

*whereas on a GUI based interface like windows, i will have do search for the setup,download it,navigate to folder where i downloaded it,double click on it, and couple clicks on next,next and next. then my software is installed

I just want to say that:
CLI is more efficient than GUI, if you know how to use it properly
