Public bug reported: Since the upgrade to Intrepid, gnome-power-manager (the shutdown button on the gnome-panel) doesn't offer the options 'suspend' and 'hibernate'. My system is able to do this :
[kris...@gundabad] ~ $ gconftool-2 -g /apps/gnome-power-manager/general/can_suspend true [kris...@gundabad] ~ $ polkit-auth | grep power-management.suspend org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.suspend [kris...@gundabad] ~ $ hal-device | grep power_management.can_suspend power_management.can_suspend = true (bool) power_management.can_suspend_hybrid = false (bool) When I go to System > Preferences > Power Management > tab General, and then click on the Shutdown button again, the options are suddenly present. This is reproducible; when I log off and log on again, the problem is there again.
