I am rather sure that I set up hibernation correctly, and that the swap file I am using is being recognized and written to when I click hibernate. (/hibernate.img) In the corner of the screen, it says system snapshot, compression ratio, etc.

However, when I resume from hibernate, the top left corner reads "resuming from hibernate.img" but then the system just freezes. Every time.

Some of the tutorials mentioned using a specially compiled kernel, and I have not done this. The kernel is simply 3.2.0-25-generic.

I am using 12.04 64-bit. Any help would be great.

Do you really need a swap file? In Linux you usually make a swap partition. That is a partition solely dedicated to function as swap memory. If you installed Ubuntu on a blank disk, you should have one by default. If you chose your own partition layout and didn't make one, I suggest repartitioning to have one.

The only issue I have encountered with hibernation so far is that if the swap partition is smaller than your physical RAM, hibernate always fails. Is the image file larger than your RAM or not?
