I guess the point here Martin is that you're saying "we don't know" -- and that leads to very confused designs that say we don't know to the user, and thus the user doesn't know. Then they have no confidence in us to tell them anything! I think that we need to come up with a "yes" or "no" answer to the question: "Does suspend work?" Or "yes, with a blacklist" or "No, with a whitelist" would also work. Do you think this would be a good thing to put on the technical board's agenda? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/812394 Title: Disable suspend/hibernate options when they are not supported To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/812394/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
