I have a problem where Ubuntu is shutting down immediately after restarting from Hibernate. I want to boot without Hibernating. Can I use grub options/commands to set it to ignore the Hibernate image for the next boot?

The kernel will ignore the resume partition used to restart from hibernate if you pass it the 'noresume' option at boot. Pass this as a kernel option at the grub bootloader. See here and here.

For a more permanent solution, you can append this option to your default boot image so it never looks to resume from a hibernate image.

I tried the noresume option. I'm not sure if I actually used it correctly but the boot behaviour was different. This allowed me to do an CTRL-ALT-F2, get a terminal, login and shutdown.

A colourful menu appeared and I selected boot. I booted and then restarted again from login screen.

All seems OK now.
