Comment 33 for bug 812394

Agree with 2 previous posts.
Disabling hibernation is an effective way to destroy our planet faster.
Thousands of ubuntu users will leave their PC running all day and waste energy.

It's good that standby is still enabled.
But please, please provide a user-friendly way to enable hibernation from the GUI...

In xubuntu / xfce, as Nils wrote, we get an ugly error pop-up complaining about permissions. And hibernation is not grayed out.

Suggestion
1) re-enable hibernation by default
2) upon first hibernation, display a warning:

===========
Warning:
Hibernation may fail if your hardware is not _certified_ [weblink], or if you use incompatible peripherals.
Link: [Enable / disable hibernation]

[x] Show this warning next time
