Again, hibernation often doesn't fail because of a particular system, but because of how you set it up, use it, and which peripherals you connect. So what does that "works" mean in that case? It works "for some cases with a default partitioning and no extra devices attached after a clean boot"? That should be the case for pretty much any system these days. I thought we wanted to disable it because it's utterly slow, and confusing to have two ways of sleeping. And that isn't hw dependent either? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/812394 Title: Disable hibernate option when it is not supported Status in Ayatana Design: Fix Committed Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Id like to proposse a change in the design of Power preferences in the GNOME control center: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power Instead going throuh the "certification" path, we can simply disable the options about suspend/hibernate if Its not supported in the current hardware (we have api for this in upower) I think this solution is more scalable, as we do not need to maintain a database with "certified" hardware. Also, we can add a button or a informative text when suspend/hibernate doesnt work to guide the users about what to do.
