Wish I could fully recreate. I don't understand the circumstances which prevented these options from being available in the first place, but wanted to report the bug so that others can gather information when they experience the same thing.
The experience was as if all the controls were somehow disabled. I wonder whether it's something to do with a failed polkit initialisation meaning that permissions weren't properly negotiated. If I recall, I launched it from the 'start' menu. However, a remaining (and possibly linked) problem is that there are no suspend options against 'On Battery' or 'Plugged In' within the General pane under the heading Laptop Lid. Recently I tried to re-enable hibernate by adding a file following an online guide, which can be inspected as follows, but presumably shouldn't have any effect on Suspend options.... root@cefn-utopic-dell:~# more /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla [Re-enable hibernate by default in upower] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate ResultActive=yes [Re-enable hibernate by default in logind] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate ResultActive=yes -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1407403 Title: Suspend option missing in xfce-power-manager-settings and many greyed out To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1407403/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
