I remember working through this 4 years ago when I was focused more on the power management. The aim at the time the aim was just to get some better consistency;
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-power-manager/tree/docs/sleep- names.html?id=313d76583201b308f173d0803e120eba68e0c9c0 that's the last commit that had the original in-source documentation about what to do, and which was removed in the next commit. At the time the aim was settling on Suspend/Resume and Hibernate/Resume. Hibernate is generally fine because in English people have often heard about fluffy polar bears in winter. Suspend was better-than-the-other- options. Perhaps the thing to do here would be to get some hard user testing, and if we have a verifiable outcome then to go about patching everything system-wide at an Upstream level? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/540826 Title: Rename "Suspend" to "Sleep" -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
