Well, they come from a very hacky ubuntu patch which was accepted upstream after some time… Many users were unhappy with them because on suspend/hibernate they don't lock the screen (for some of them it was also a security issue). At some time, upstream proposed to remove the current code, and instead call some functions from the power manager to do that (this would've ensured one single area of configuration and a common behavior), but I don't think it was achieved for 4.8. Anyway, these buttons are only hidden, so I can put them back if you want, e.g. if someone tested them and can confirm that the screen is locked when suspending/hibernating. -- Lionel Le Folgoc - https://launchpad.net/~mrpouit E61E 116D 4BA1 3936 0A33 F61D 65D9 A66E 10E2 969A -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/690784 Title: Suspend and Hibernate options are not available -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
