Black screen after waking up from Hibernation

Question

My hibernate feature on Ubuntu 14.04 is working fine when I am not running any program or heavy programs. However, when I am running programs such as Google Chrome, then after waking up from Hibernation, it just shows a black blank screen, with a cursor initially. Eventually the cursor fades away and nothing happens. I waited for 8/10 minutes, but nothing happens. Is this a memory problem? If yes, then how can I increase that memory?

Here's my graphics card: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0b) (In case anyone thinks it's an issue.)

I actually happened to have that issue on Kubuntu - though after a restart. I have been reading through the forums and through the web and found, that killing the plasmashell and then restarting it fixed the issue.

It would be helpful to know which System you are running? Kubuntu? Ubuntu? If you are running Kubuntu, you can try to kill and restart the plasmashell as well. Try killall plasmashell or kill plasmashell then restart it, using kstart plasmashell.

You can do so by changing to one of the terminals, using CTRL+ALT 1 to 6. In some cases, changing to the terminal and back to the UI fixed the issue as well. To go back to the UI / Desktop you can use CTRL+ALT 7.

Oh one more question: Do you happen to have home directory encryption enabled during install? There is an issue with that, as you can see Here. In this case resintalling without home directory encryption should fix it.
