How do I enable the hibernate option. Editing hibernate.pkla doesn't work.

I did the following -

$ sudo gedit /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/hibernate.pkla
[Enable Hibernate]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate
ResultActive=yes

and restarted, but nothing happens.

  • @JorgeCastro The answer there describes what's mentioned in the question. Any idea why that might not work? – Oli Dec 20 '13 at 02:20

If you have not already found it, download and install dconf Editor from the Ubuntu Software Center

enter image description here

  1. Start the programme
  2. Click Ctrl + F to activate the search facility
  3. Type in Hibernate and click the Next button
  4. Make sure that the value for Hibernate is set to Hibernate, not inactive.

You're done.
