Hibernation option greyed out in Power settings

Asked by Wise Melon

When I go into the Ubuntu Power settings through System Settings, I have noticed that for "On battery power" options that the option "Hibernate" for "When power is critically low" is greyed out. Why is this? Do I need some extra support drivers or something? Or is this some kind of bug? Or...?

Does the system have a make and model?

What is the output of:

free -m; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

Do you have the latest BIOS? You have enough swap for your RAM.
