No Hibernate in Indicator Applet

[Charles Curley]

I upgraded from Karmic to Lucid. In the process, the Hibernate option went away. Restart, Suspend, Log Out and Shut Down are there, but no Hibernate. The computer is a Lenovo R51 laptop.

thank you for your bug report, do you have an hibernate on the login screen or in the dialog you get when pressing the power button on your desktop environment?

[Charles Curley (charlescurley)]

At the login screen (gdm or equivalent), no.

On pressing the power button, I get nothing at all, not even hard drive activity. The Power Management Preferences "General" tab indicates that pressing the power button should "ask me". Checking the tty consoles, I see nothing.

I rebooted to the Maverick desktop CD, and still do not see the Hibernate option.

Why is this still marked as incomplete? If you need additional information, please ask.

[Charles Curley (charlescurley)]

I upgraded the machine to Maverick and upgraded. I now have the hibernate option. This is an improvement, and I suppose this bug is solved.

However, neither hibernate nor suspend actually do anything useful. Neither one actually shuts the machine down. That is a separate bug.

Bug report for the ineffective suspend/hibernate is Bug #672324.
