#10 I can't understand how this isn't intentional, it was purposely
removed before 12.04 was released, but there was a workaround to get it
back in the menu, now oddly the ability to use that workaround has also
been removed. Windows 8 also by default removes the hibernate option,
but it is simple to add back.

As Sergio says, suspend is also problematic, I have lost count of the
amount of times I have opened my bag to find my laptop has awakened from
suspend in my bag and toasted away, not to mention the times when it
flatly refuses to suspend at all and just resumes before I get out of my
seat. Forcing me to either close down every application, make sure
everything is saved and then shutdown, or hibernate. Then there is also
the all too frequent problems of Compiz hanging or crashing when
resuming from suspend, forcing a hard reset. Not to mention the problem
Sergio points out of the device inexplicably losing power whilst in
suspend mode.

I've always found suspend a far riskier option than hibernate.

Title:
  Hibernate option is missing from menu in 13.10 even after trying to
  re-enable

Status in “indicator-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I upgraded from raring to saucy on my notebook, where hibernate was
  enabled and working fine. Now the hibernate option is missing. I
  followed the instructions on how to reenable hibernate
  (https://help.ubuntu.com/13.10/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html) but
  the option is still missing. Hibernating from terminal via s2disk
  works.

  File exists with proper content and permissions:
  $ sudo ls -l /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 111 Sep 29 18:52 /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla

  $ sudo cat /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla
  [Re-enable hibernate by default]
