I'm in the process of moving away from Ubuntu, but this is a pretty cool feature. I've seen a tutorial here and there about how to manually set up LUKS with a TPM, but those have a downside of the TPM needing to be updated with every new kernel. I guess Ubuntu has found a way to integrate or work around that?
That's groovy baby, but can anyone give me the technicals on why we can't have Hibernate(not sleep) out of the box on Ubuntu like we can on Windows? That was one of the deal-breakers for me making the switch. If I understood it correctly, it's because of Z-RAM and if I'm also correct, full disk encryption is another roadblock in the path of the hibernate feature.
Although I use Xubuntu on an old laptop, I'm hoping this is an option rather than a "suck it up!" change.<p>I'd rather just enter a password...
Only 11 years behind Windows 8 making BitLocker w/ Secure Boot easily accessible to the masses. Presumably not supporting TPM 1.2, which is why my oldest hardware runs Linux under Hyper-V instead of bare metal.
