@Jerome: Paddy was referring to the password when full disk encryption is in use, not the one used to protect a user account. Normally the pass-phrase used for full disk encryption this is an automatically created, awkward and long phrase, hard to type in without making mistakes, let alone memorize.
However, @Paddy, your argumentation is flawed in the sense to assume that full disk encryption necessarily is a sane default and should be forced on a user. True, it is an elegant excuse instead fixing bugs when the kernel is communicating with the BIOS, UEFI or the graphics stack, which are the most occurring reasons for failing resume from S3, S4 suspends. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to policykit-desktop-privileges in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/812394 Title: Disable hibernate option by default Status in Ayatana Design: Fix Released Status in Pantheon Session Indicator: Invalid Status in PolicyKit: Invalid Status in “policykit-desktop-privileges” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “policykit-desktop-privileges” source package in Precise: Fix Released 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.
