Description of problem: Shut Down... / Suspend actually hibernates Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.14.0-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Shut Down... / Suspend 2. 3. Actual results: Machine suspends (a.k.a. suspend to memory) Expected results: Machine hibernates (a.k.a. suspend to disk) Additional info: The present suspend/hibernate/etc. setup is new to me so I might be overlooking something here. However, the patch found at http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/gnome-panel/FC-5/gnome-panel-2.14.0-gpm-integration.patch?rev=1.1&view=auto seems (I've only read it through webcvs) to add a Suspend button if the machine "CanHibernate" and links this button to a "Hibernate" dbus call. I'd say the button should either be renamed to "Hibernate", or the button should be linked to a Suspend (to memory) call. (There could also be both a Hibernate and a Suspend button, but that might make the dialog crowded.)
This is a known issue, but there hasn't been a bug report until now. Thanks. The problem is we didn't have a translated version of Hibernate. The logic behind choosing "Suspend" (which is a bit flawed) was something like "Suspend is a general term that can mean Suspend-to-ram, which is sometimes called Sleep, and Suspend-to-disk, which is sometimes called Hibernate". In truth, the words are mixed and confused quite a bit and that definition isn't the only one people use. We need to come up with something better, but we really need to do it in upstream GNOME. There is no reason we should be diverging from upstream like we are now. Note we have another entry called "Suspend" in the System menu which means suspend-to-ram. Adding to FC6 Tracker.
