Hello and thanks for your bug report. I made a few changes to it, here is a full explaination of my actions:
* I've changed the title and description to match what the bug is really trying to address. The bug tracker isn't a place to discuss decisions, but rather a place to track project goals. Discussions about what needs to be done should go to a mailing list, specifically -desktop (https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop) or -devel- discuss (https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-devel- discuss), depending on what you want to discuss exactly. * I marked this bug as affecting the GNOME control center. For KDE or Xfce new bugs should be filed (or new tasks should be added to this one). If you need it, the full old bug description can be retrieved viewing using the "See full activity log" link at the bottom of the page. ** Summary changed: - Please allow users to re-enable hibernation from GUI + let users disable/enable hibernation and suspension from the system settings ** Description changed: - Disabling hibernation is justifiable if it doesn't work on a particular - system. Making it the default for all systems isn't. First of all, it - breaks systems in which hibernation works. If a laptop runs out of - battery, the system would shut down and the user loses all unsaved - files. All unsaved files wouldn't be lost if hibernation was enabled. - - Secondly, hibernation was enabled in all Ubuntu releases before Precise. - This lack of consistency will just make peole confused and angry. - - Thirdly, disabling hibernation isn't environmentally friendly. Windows - is now greener than Ubuntu. - - My suggestion is - - 1) Keep hibernation disabled by default but allow people to enable it - again from the GUI - - or - - 2) Re-enable hibernation by default and let people to report bugs for - systems in which it doesn't work + It should be possible for average users to enable and disable suspension + and hibernation from the "Power" tab of the GNOME control center. ** Package changed: policykit-desktop-privileges (Ubuntu) => gnome- control-center (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- 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/976654 Title: let users disable/enable hibernation and suspension from the system settings Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: It should be possible for average users to enable and disable suspension and hibernation from the "Power" tab of the GNOME control center.
