@Ted; both suspend and hibernate need to be opt-in, e.g. if we are unsure they are disabled by default, if we are explicitly sure that they work on a specific computer, only then is it enabled by default. If they are disabled by default a user can re-enable them at any time at their own risk as shown in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power#Power_settings

Also, we can add a button or a informative text when suspend/hibernate doesnt work to guide the users about what to do.
