[Bug 812394] Re: Disable hibernate option by default
I'm using Samsung Ativ 5 laptop.
Unfortunately suspend to RAM does not work here - the laptop does
suspend, but never wakes up.
On the other hand, suspend to disk works fine - the laptop does suspend
and wakes up correctly.
Leaving a broken suspend to RAM option is a bug in my opinion, especially that the only working option of suspending to disk was removed.

Bug description:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO RE-ENABLE HIBERNATE: If the hibernate option is supported by your system and you need it, you can re-enable it as follows: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html
You may be also interested in subscribing to the bug #882040, which tracks the implementation of a configuration tool to toggle hibernate and suspend.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd like to propose a change in the design of Power preferences in the
GNOME control center: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power
Instead of going through the "certification" path, we can simply
disable the options about suspend/hibernate if it's not supported on
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 doesn't work to guide the
users about what to do.
