Laptop locks screen instead of hibernates

Question

I am having hard time trying to hibernate kubuntu 12.04 It doesn't hibernate. instead it goes to the lock screen only.

I checked the swap and it's 10G and active. I tried to hibernate using the command "sudo pm-hibernate" and it worked. but, I want a better fix without using commands.

Thanks a lot in advance :)

Answer 1

If hibernatian works by using sudo pm-hibernate command when you want to hibernate.

You can enable the hibernate option in the menus. To do that, use your favorite text editor to create /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla. Add the following to the file and save:

[Re-enable hibernate by default]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate
ResultActive=yes
