https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=439077 Summary: Please do not enforce energy star compliance on openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Factory Platform: i686 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Usability AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: robin.listas@telefonica.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- OS: 11.1 Beta 3 - not in the list above In Gnome, the new default (which can not be changed, Bug 439075) is to hibernate the machine after 30 minutes. Bug 439018 says that this is due to mandatory energy star compliance. Please notice that this compliance does not apply to openSUSE, but only to your certified, hardware+software, machines. OpenSUSE is not certified, and you don't sell it on machines preinstalled and certified, AFAIK. It applies to "All products, except for desktop-derived servers" (p 11, sect 3) -- and you are forcing this on openSUSE desktop servers, like my machine. And openSUSE does not have the mandatory information label in the machine: *** Either option must at least include the following information: • Notice that the computer has been shipped enabled for power management and what the time settings are; and • How to properly wake the computer from Sleep mode; *** You can not force hibernation on not certified machines, as you don't know if the machine will survive. This applies only to machines sold complete, hardware and software, certified: ie, SLES or SLES, not openSUSE. http://www.energystar.gov/ia/partners/product_specs/program_reqs/Computer_Sp...
