Comment 66 for bug 812394

Why the heck the Devs thought it was smart to Disable Hibernate by Default and not include a GUI to Enable it is beyond me. Looking at the Early Comments it seems the Devs didn't think this through and consider what the End-User wants.

How Hard is it to Give us a freakin switch in the Power Settings to Enable Hibernation! It's Not Complicated. Just have a Warning Pop-Up when people click it so that they know it might not work properly. Heck, even mark it "Beta" so people will understand it even more. Just give the average people the option. When I recommend Ubuntu to a Friend and he goes "Where the Heck is Hibernate?", I don't want to tell him "You have to create this file in a system folder and then copy&paste this text into it." He'll think I'm crazy.
