It certainly doesn't, but at least it "works" on far more machines than where it doesn't. Reportedly suspend sometimes fails randomly, when you have particular peripherals attached, or suspend too many times, etc.), but that wouldn't be helped with a by-machine whitelist either. -- 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.
