Bug Description

Pls. refer to the enclosed screenshot.

The hibernate option and the suspend option is missing from my indicator applet.
Why I don't know, when all I can say is after some upgrades from the Ubuntu Default Repository.
I update my system quite frequently and I am using the latest that Ubuntu offers on it's servers. The indicator-applet-session version is 0.4.6 as reported in the About dialog.

I have laptop-mode enabled if that makes a difference.

I have multiple time deleted my .gconf settings and recreate the gnome-panel but it won't come back.

uname -a
Linux 2.6.35-23-server #40-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am facing the difficulty that I cannot suspend my laptop if I have to leave it for 20 min or more. The only option is to shutdown. I certainly do that but rebooting takes it's own time and I find it inconvenient.

Let me know if you need anything from me.

Indicator session gets whether those should be shown from upower who asks the kernel. You can get which states are available on the command line by doing this:

 $ cat /sys/power/state

There should be "mem" and "disk" there if suspend and hibernate are available. If those are there and the menu items are shown that's a bug. But chances are your kernel doesn't think you can suspend or hibernate.
