Since switching to Karmic, suspend and hibernate are not working consistently on my Toshiba Satellite. I have it set to hibernate when I close the lid, but doing so only turns off the screen. The suspend and hibernate keys on my keyboard also no longer work. When I select these options from the menu, the computer will suspend or hibernate properly.

This simple tutorial will show you how to easily get back hibernate option in system menu with 3 commands in Ubuntu 12.04. Hibernate has been disabled in Ubuntu 12.04 by default.

Another hibernation question 50 weeks 2 days ago

I installed Ubuntu on my Windows 7 Sager laptop using Wubi. Hibernate (i.e. suspend to disc) is not an option from the power icon, only suspend, shutdown, etc. Hibernate is also not an option from my battery/lid close options. I understand that hibernation is disabled by default in Ubuntu 12.04. I tried running pm-hibernate but I get the following message:

Looking for splash system...

i created hibernate option using _

sudo gedit /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/hibernate.pkla

and i added this in that file_

[Re-enable Hibernate] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate ResultActive=yes

but its not working. when i click on it, come to desktop page after some tym what need to do .

I've found that I should configure these privileges using polkit.
