The question becomes: how do HW vendors that *do* care about Ubuntu enough to ensure that hibernation works on their system express that so that we know we're on one of those systems? I think that we'd like them to be able to self select by adding themselves to some sort of list. -- 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 hibernate option when it is not supported Status in Ayatana Design: Fix Committed Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete 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.
