John, on what hardware is suspend broken? I confirm pitti's observations that I haven't seen a computer fail to suspend and recover from suspend in quite a while. I believe we have been shipping Ubuntu for years to suspend by default on battery power after a reasonable idle time; therefore I don't see this as a real concern.
Hibernation of course is quite different and still broken for too many machines. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/812394 Title: Disable suspend/hibernate options when they are not supported Status in Ayatana Design: New Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Id like to proposse a change in the design of Power preferences in the GNOME control center: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power Instead going throuh the "certification" path, we can simply disable the options about suspend/hibernate if Its not supported in 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 doesnt work to guide the users about what to do.
