I only have anecdata: 2 of my 3 laptops can suspend but not hibernate. > I haven't actually tried this in a long time, but what happens with > current Ubuntu when the battery drains out while suspended?

The one computer I have that can hibernate has a tendency to run out of battery while trying to hibernate (since it takes multiple minutes) if the hibernate is an automatic omg-you're-out-of-battery one not one I've initialised. In that case, I get to watch fsck on the next boot. Consequently, my automatic omg-you're-out-of-battery setting is now suspend. -- Mackenzie Morgan http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com apt-get moo -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
