Have you got a swap partition large enough to hold the contents of RAM?

If the user doesn’t have permission to hibernate, the option is removed. There are two commands to
hibernate; one, pm-hibernate needs you be root. The other one I forget the name (some one may know),
runs as user - but if policy forbids it, then it refuses. This route is similar to the menu entries,
so they disappear. Check it, the error message will give a clue.

Hi
In ‘Advanced Settings’ GUI, select the extensions and enable the
‘alternative status menu’ extension.

It may not have updated properly, so you can check via looking glass,
press alt+F2 and enter lg <press enter> and check under the extensions
and error tabs, else force a re-install;


zypper in -f gnome-shell-extension-alternative-status-menu

If it returns without you having to having to push the power button, you have a problem.
