Again, hibernation often doesn't fail because of a particular system,
but because of how you set it up, use it, and which peripherals you
connect. So what does that "works" mean in that case? It works "for
some cases with a default partitioning and no extra devices attached
after a clean boot"? That should be the case for pretty much any
system these days.

I thought we wanted to disable it because it's utterly slow, and
confusing to have two ways of sleeping. And that isn't hw dependent
either?

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.
