Merge Hibernate and Suspend
Many new users are unable to deal with two types of pausing the computer. At the moment they have the option to either hibernate or suspend the machine which is confusing. The goal of this spec is to only offer one option to the user and to put the logic of deciding whether to suspend to disk or to ram into power management.

There's no spec here, only a brief description of an idea, so it can't be accepted for edgy. If a full specification is written, please resubmit -mdz, 2006-07-03
I'm interested in picking up this idea and blending it with one of my own ideas (viz. suspend simultaneously to RAM and to disk, so that if the batteries last until the computer is resumed it comes back fast, but if they don't, nothing is lost) -- I believe I see how to write a full spec, but should I try to work with this one, or just write a whole new one? -- Zack Weinberg (2006-10-12)
Yeah, let's pick this up again. Don't know if simultaneous suspend/hibernate is possible though. Will change the milestone as soon as ubuntu-7.04 is available. Let's work out a spec before UDS Mountain View starts. dré (2006-10-13)
It's already implemented in Suspend2 and in uswsusp. Not sure how to do it in uswsusp. For Suspend2, you set PowerdownMethod to 3 in hibernate.conf (does echo 3 > /sys/power/
