Well, it probably still takes a lot of time to shut down, as the whole RAM must be written to disk. This is getting worse as the amount of RAM increases, but it helps that the hard drives/SSDs are getting faster. I don't want to wait a long time between I press the suspend button and the time it is save to pack down the laptop. Bootup will be as fast as suspend though.
The mode could make sense for laptops, but maybe less for desktops with a stable power supply. -- 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/882040 Title: should let users enable or disable suspend and hibernate Status in Ayatana Design: Fix Committed Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: Confirmed Bug description: We should have an ui in the power capplet for that: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power#Power_settings [The corresponding task for other desktop environments that do not use the GNOME control center is bug #976654.] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/882040/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
