So "Freeze" means "Suspend to Idle", which is the only power saving state available that does not require hardware cooperation.
Wow. I had thought it was just a different name for "Hibernate", which used to be an option in addition to sleep.
I was wondering why nothing was restored after a hard reboot.
I'm dual booting off a drive so nothing in memory is going to persist; I need each OS to hibernate, not sleep or suspend or any other RAM-dependent behavior.
The absence of a reliable hibernate is a big deal to me so I'm considering gong back to 12.04.
(That plus a few other annoyances in 14.x)
The name "freeze" is an amazingly poor choice. I tried to Google for info, but "freeze" has a long history with a particular meaning for computers so I never found anything useful.
Thanks again,
