Is there any workaround for this yet? I'm on a 14.04 install up-to-date, and I can confirm this bug for me:
pm-utils commands work just fine (except that they don't include the screen-locking for security, but they suspend and hibernate perfectly). However, I have no suspend or hibernate in my menus, can't specify them in my power management settings, and upower -d shows the "can-suspend: no" and "can-hibernate: no" entries. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to upower in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1296133 Title: Suspend and hibernate missing from KMenu and Power Management in System settings Status in “upower” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have used install scripts to install Kubuntu 14.04 on three completely different systems. Although the packages installed are basically the same, one of the system has no Suspend/hibernate options in the KMenu nor in the Power management in the KDE System settings. Since this is a laptop, this also means that the battery life is greatly reduced, because it cannot go to standby when lid is closed or when it's idle. Interestingly, If I logout, there is a Standby button on the lighdm login screen. If I click it, the laptop goes to standby and wakes up without problems.
