the computer locks instead of hibernating

Hello!

When I select hibernate from the shut down menu, the screen turns dark and
then a message appears: "Locking computer...". After that the login-screen
pops up.

Hibernate used to work quite well in the beginning, and I have no idea what
went wrong.

Can anyone help me to solve this issue?

I am thankful for any help,
Rui Nunes

What flavor of Vista is this? Is your computer a laptop? If so, does
this happen both when plugged in and unplugged? It could be something
being allowed to bring the system out of hibernation like your network
or USB device.

Questor

Hi there,

My laptop is a Fujitsu-Siemens P8020 and it is running Windows Vist
Business 32-bit. I also have a SuSe Linux Boot Loader installed becaus
it also runs openSUSE 11.2

The computer never enters hibernation; the command is to hibernate, bu
it simply locks the computer, even when it reaches the critical batter
level. I am not sure if this behaviour started to happen since
installed SuSE Linux 11.2 or if it was due to the installation of th
latest Microsoft Updates.

Such behaviour always occurs despite the fact if the laptop is plugge
or unplugged. Regarding the possibility that it could be due to som
devices that the system is brought out of hibernation, it doesn'
happen, as I do not have such features enabled, neither for a networ
nor for a USB device.

I look forward to hearing from you again.

Thank you very much for all the attention given.

Best regards,
Rui Nunes
