Ok, I have discussed this with Jason W and I think we have a final decision on this item for Oneiric:
1. Suspend is enabled by default on all computers. A option to disable Suspend is shown in the power indicator, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power 2. Hibernate is disabled by default on all computers, unless the computer is on a whitelist. The whitelist should include all "Ubuntu Certified" ( http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/ ) computers on which hibernate is tested regularly and proven to work. Perhaps in the future this list could also be augmented by a community certification process? A user can re-enable hibernate at any time by going to the power settings, as shown in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power cheers, John -- 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.
