@Jérôme, Regardless of how you go about it, you'd need to enter a complex passphrase each time you start your computer, whether it's a cold boot or after hibernation.
To give a comparison, imagine if Windows introduced a security feature requiring every user to enter a complex passphrase when turning on the computer; furthermore, every user on a single computer would need to know the same shared passphrase (in addition to their own login password). There would be a worldwide revolt. Ubuntu would have the very same restrictions. That's why hibernation cannot reasonably be available by default; the majority of Ubuntu users are not technically expert, but rather are "everyday" users and would revolt against this. Full-disk encryption is available via LUKS (now an option during installation in 13.10) for those who have the need, and hibernation can work then; perhaps it should be available by default, but only when LUKS is being used. -- 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 hibernate option by default 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
