</div>I used to use hibernate a lot, even though it was slow like mentioned in<br>
the original email, it was a nice way to save state. Handy when on<br>
airplanes.<br>
<br>
But I agree it's so painfully slow and unreliable to be unusable in its<br>
present state. Hiding the option in the menu and declaring it<br>
officially unsupported (but making it configurable and still callable<br>
from pm-utils and so on, just no bug reports) seems like a good<br>
approach.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div>yeah. like a checkbox in the Power Management Preferences:<br>[ ] show "hibernate" option in Session Menu (BETA)<br><br>right?<br>to me, it is not even BETA, since it works on 1 out of 5 machines i test it on.<br>
