How do you hibernate/suspend Ubuntu like Windows or both at the same time?

  • 772

I'm using an ASUS laptop with Windows 7, and I just installed Ubuntu alongside Windows yesterday, using the no-risk option. I noticed, though, that I can't hibernate Ubuntu the way I did with Windows to save time, and, every time I use Ubuntu, I have to shut down to go into Windows, which has a slow boot.

Is there any way that I could have Windows and Ubuntu hibernated at the same time so I can access both easily (preferably without having to hit a function key within seconds). When I try to hibernate or suspend Ubuntu with Windows shut down, the screen just turns blue and doesn't shut the computer off like a Windows hibernate or sleep.

windows dual-boot suspend hibernate sleep

  1. Hibernating is not supported with the wubi installation.

    You'll have to migrate to a dedicated partition or reinstall properly to be able to hibernate.

  2. If you're using 12.04, Hibernate/suspend is apparently no longer supported or enabled by default, because it has been unreliable :(
