[Solved] Ubuntu Hibernate not working

For some laptop models, ubuntu installations show up by not hibernate in expected way. I have dug up in google about this issue and found some solutions.

this post.was the most relevant one thanks to the author,

make a script under /etc/pm/sleep.d/. 

sudo gedit /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom-ehci_hcd
paste the following code into the file you have just created:

#!/bin/sh
#inspired by http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9744970&postcount=19
#...and www.ubutnusolved.blogspot.com    


VERSION=1.1
DEV_LIST=/tmp/usb-dev-list
DRIVERS_DIR=/sys/bus/pci/drivers
DRIVERS="ehci xhci" # ehci_hcd, xhci_hcd
HEX="[[:xdigit:]]"
MAX_BIND_ATTEMPTS=2
BIND_WAIT=0.1

unbindDev() {
  echo -n > $DEV_LIST 2>/dev/null
  for driver in $DRIVERS; do
    DDIR=$DRIVERS_DIR/${driver}_hcd
    for dev in `ls $DDIR 2>/dev/null | egrep "^$HEX+:$HEX+:$HEX"`; do
      echo -n "$dev" > $DDIR/unbind
      echo "$driver $dev" >> $DEV_LIST
    done
  done
}

bindDev() {
  if [ -s $DEV_LIST ]; then
    while read driver dev; do
      DDIR=$DRIVERS_DIR/${driver}_hcd
      while [ $((MAX_BIND_ATTEMPTS)) -gt 0 ]; do
          echo -n "$dev" > $DDIR/bind
          if [ ! -L "$DDIR/$dev" ]; then
            sleep $BIND_WAIT
          else
            break
          fi
          MAX_BIND_ATTEMPTS=$((MAX_BIND_ATTEMPTS-1))
      done  
    done < $DEV_LIST
  fi
  rm $DEV_LIST 2>/dev/null
}

case "$1" in
  hibernate|suspend) unbindDev;;
  resume|thaw)       bindDev;;
esac
save the file and exit back to terminal.
Give execution permission:
sudo chmod 755 /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom-ehci_hcd
Now your system must work well with hibernate option.

  2. Most of the machines will get fixed by the above solution. You can report your problem in launchpad[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug]. Or give me some time to research on your hardware.

  3. Well, i just looked at '/sys/bus/pci/drivers' folder on my system and it doesn't have the 'xchi' folder -- see line 4 of the script above. Instead, there are 'ohci' and 'uhci' in addition to 'ehci'.
    Does that have any impact on the how the script will work?
    My system is a Sony Vaio VPCEB1E0E.

    This is the listing I got from ls /sys/bus/pci/drivers:
    agpgart-amdk7 ata_generic HDA Intel mei pcieport uhci_hcd
    agpgart-intel ata_piix i915 ohci_hcd pci-stub
    agpgart-nvidia ath9k imsttfb parport_pc pdc_adma
    agpgart-via ce4100_i2c intel ips pata_acpi sdhci-pci
    ahci ce4100_spi ioapic pata_sis serial
