Since shortly ago, the main menu does not show "Reboot" or "Hibernate", only "Suspend" and "Power off". I do not recall anything happening that might have led to this. Using kernel 5.13.0-40-generic.

How can I solve this?

I have enough swap space for hibernating, as shown by

$ free -h
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:          7,6Gi       1,8Gi       2,6Gi       895Mi       3,3Gi       4,7Gi
Swap:         7,9Gi          0B       7,9Gi

This is one of those times where a UI does not help people get things done. The ellipsis beside "Power Off" is supposed to signify that there are more options when you click it:

Power Off ...

Which leads to:

There they are

There is the option to restart. If you would like to hibernate, this answer will give you the walk-through

  • Pfff... silly me! (I am tempted to removing the post!) The missing "Hibernate" made the menu look so short that I forgot about the other part. So the "Restart" part of the question is solved. As for the "Hibernate", the attempted explanation seems not correct. I am updating the question. – sancho.s ReinstateMonicaCellio May 18 '22 at 11:00

  • I already can hibernate (which is what that answer provides), via CLI. But the main menu doesn't show the option... this is what I want. I found a couple of options, I should try. If you have a proven, working way, please post it. – sancho.s ReinstateMonicaCellio May 18 '22 at 11:16
