I can't hibernate my computer anymore!

[Adam Petaccia]

Ubuntu can successfully hibernate on my computer, but suspend always fails. The latest update to gnome-panel leaves only suspend and removes hiberate, leaving my power saving options limited to "shutdown". Please revert the patch that removed the hibernate menu entry.

This is on Intrepid Ibex.

there is no change which removed the option, if it's not listed that's likely gnome-power-manager bug

Thanks

adam:~/Desktop# hal-device | grep power_management.can_suspend
  power_management.can_suspend = true (bool)
  power_management.can_suspend_hybrid = false (bool)

adam:~/Desktop# polkit-auth | grep power-management.suspend

After having seen this come and go for the past two weeks, it seems like its here to stay. Closing.
