I don't agree with a default behaviour which disable hibernation by default.
Especially on laptops, the hibernation should be available in order to properly shut down when the battery level reaches the critical limit. Could you at least keep hibernation by default for laptops ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to policykit-desktop-privileges in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/812394 Title: Disable hibernate option by default Status in Ayatana Design: Fix Released Status in Pantheon Session Indicator: Invalid Status in PolicyKit: Invalid Status in “policykit-desktop-privileges” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “policykit-desktop-privileges” source package in Precise: Fix Released Bug description: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TO RE-ENABLE HIBERNATE: If the hibernate option is supported by your system and you need it, you can re-enable it as follows: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html You may be also interested in subscribing to the bug #882040, which tracks the implementation of a configuration tool to toggle hibernate and suspend. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'd like to propose a change in the design of Power preferences in the GNOME control center: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power Instead of going through the "certification" path, we can simply disable the options about suspend/hibernate if it's not supported on 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 doesn't work to guide the users about what to do.
