Bug Description

For 13.10 could you please document how hibernate is disabled by default and how one would enable it in the GUI?

  * Added reference in guide-desktop to gtk-theme-config. (LP: #1219593)

  * Amplified the caution in managing-applications.xml about having two package managers open at once

Sorry folks -- but I have just upgraded tow laptops to Xububtu 13:10 and the bug is still present! No hibernate (except via command line). This is not what I would call a fix!

Let me know what additional information you need.

I found a workaround on ubuntu gnome 13.10: just install hibernate:

sudo apt-get install hibernate

The only problem is that apport will issue three errors when starting up after normal Power Off. For this you can disable apport:

sudo gedit /etc/default/apport

Then change enabled=0.

To change settings from hibernate edit files in /etc/hibernate. In hibernate.conf you can comment "TryMethod tuxonice.conf" and "TryMethod ram.conf" and leave uncommented "TryMethod disk.conf" as for hibernate you only need to use the disk, like this:
#TryMethod tuxonice.conf
TryMethod disk.conf
#TryMethod ram.conf
