According to whom? Is there any record of this testing? My experience ( and many others ) is that hibernate is more reliable than suspend since it doesn't rely on often buggy bios. If there is evidence that it is terribly unreliable, I'd like to see it. > make pm-hibernate work for me on the commandline in trusty (because > my machine seems to be in its death throes and suspend no longer > works reliably for me), and found that, even though I have a 6GB > swap partition and 4GB of RAM, I am consistently unable to > hibernate here (I think kernel changes wrt dm-crypt may be to > blame). If there's a bug with hibernation and dm-crypt, it should be addressed. > I don't think we should have a menu option exposed by default which > will fail to work for a large number of users (in most cases, after > first churning the disk for a minute or two).

I've never seen many people complaining about it either on askubuntu, or the ubuntuforums, or filing bug reports, so I find this claim hard to believe. What is it specifically that prevents it from working reliably, and in what cases? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSxzTcAAoJEI5FoCIzSKrw3vgH/2GHzX65gB+JjtUepj3BbX9N FkkQI+YkyDC5vZ5e/0KJdpABn4lrPUWSR8XNBfxxRdQv/JS2Zho9hf2ABufekv/d 5tqSGupZoBhV2BTRnv4TFz7gDGL0GiSZGZc29oFTrRP+ssSOVYI3fZSY+1hJbjRN /C8mBv9MXE7iMM8ZQf5Ju+kQFTeqPjp7J9W7fcnTbYvZUrnB1d7kFNvPHaqhKEGc aZ27lyvHbD6QuE6UeORwY2Mku81YFNWbB6BQPSx8Oh8oKaQEd0RBST5MsPIZXAGu i2hX6BAPnLHWJewaWuF0tglp1doQqa8olgmbPqvitCo/kN0WkKC1IkiSeWfqrKc= =mjJD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- technical-board mailing list technical-board@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/technical-board
