My Ubuntu 12.04 is missing Hibernate option so after searching a little on Google I came to know that this can solve my problem

sudo nano /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla

Fill it with this

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

Here is the link : How to enable hibernation?

After doing this I restarted my system. when the system booted it hanged ike anything No mouse movement no terminal no nothing. I waited for more than 1 hour Hibernate option appeared but i was not able to use my system anymore. any ideas ?

    Now I have a hibernate option in the power tab but it just turns off my system like Shutdown. and when I restart my system it is a fresh new session. No resume of my work. Jul 27, 2012 at 8:30
  • @HussainNagri in this post, there is an instruction to test whether hibernation works on your machine before enabling it. That test is sudo pm-hibernate. Did you run that test to see if hibernate works on your system or not?

One possible cause of being unable to hibernate is if you encrypted your home directory (and with it your swap partition).
