To add hibernate option you have to set SuspendCommand variable in /etc/X11/gdm.conf. In Ubuntu, this has no effect. As far as I know, this logout dialog comes from gnome-power-manager. I think so, as the available options on this dialog can be controlled in gconf with the key apps/gnome-power-manager. However I found out that if I set this to hibernate script, it is not executed. Yes. In Ubuntu, the actions are controlled by the /usr/sbin/pmi script; pmi comes from what they call powermanagement-interface. Such a package doesn't exist in Gentoo, it seems. According to the Portage File Search on http://www.rommel.stw.uni-erlangen.de/~fejf/pfs/ no package provides /usr/sbin/pmi. And all of that is also somehow controlled by hal.

SuspendCommand=/usr/sbin/hibernate I'm trying to get it work but I do not get any error message or error log. I found an old thread of mine on the gnome-power-management list. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.powermanager.devel/1156/focus=1156 Esp. http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.powermanager.devel/1163 is of interest: Unless it changed recently (post 0.57) the answer as to what gets executed can be had by the following commands. The first one will tell you how to interpret the second. hal-get-property --udi /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer \ --key org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.method_names hal-get-property --udi /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer \ --key org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.method_execpaths On my system (FC5) those produce the following. Suspend Hibernate Shutdown Reboot SetPowerSave hal-system-power-suspend hal-system-power-hibernate hal-system-power-shutdown hal-system-power-reboot hal-system-power-set-power-save Ubuntu doesn't have such files. So, something different must happen, when those buttons are pressed. Is there a documentation reg. g-p-m? If so - where? on FC5 those files live in /usr/share/hal/scripts Andrew Alexander Skwar -- Das Merkmal eines kleinen Menschen ist, daß er hochmütig wird, wenn er merkt, daß man ihn braucht. -- Friedl Beutelrock -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
