There used to be a way to disable Hibernate from gconf-editor: apps -> gnome-power-manager -> can_hibernate. unticking "can_hibernate" would even remove the hibernate button from the shutdown menu.

This gconf option appears to no longer be present. Is there another way to disable hibernate and simultaneously remove the Hibernate button from the shutdown menu?

  1. Open a terminal and run the following command: 

    gksu gedit /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.upower.policy

    This opens up /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.upower.policy for editing.

  2. In the org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate section, changed the the line <allow_active>yes</allow_active> to <allow_active>no</allow_active>:

  3. Restart indicator-session-service so for the change to take effect: 

    killall indicator-session-service

That's it, there should no longer be a Hibernate item in the session menu.
