Comment 9 for bug 882040

@eaglescreen, @taaroa; +10 re. the hybrid suspend method ;-)

Ideally when the user presses the power down button we should both suspend and hibernate the computer at the same time. If the computer is then resumed while battery power is remaining, it should be un-suspended and the hibernate image discarded. If the battery goes below a set point, the suspend state would be discarded, and when the computer is next switched on it would then be un-hibernated.

Would anybody be interested in taking this on as a project? It is a lot of work, but it would be great to see this in Ubuntu. To add this feature somebody needs to step forward and take on this project. I proposed this idea at UDS-O in Budapest, however there was nobody available to take up this project, and that is still the case today. Any volunteers? ;-)
