How to disable hibernating?

  • 772

Whereas many questions are geared towards implementing hibernation, mine is how to disable it.

I've just encrypted my swap partition, and I such my system can still hibernate, but cannot resume anymore. So, to avoid mistakes I would to disable hibernating system-wide.

Note: I still want suspend!

encryption system hibernate

    Run this:

    sudoedit /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.upower.policy

    Change action id="org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate">defaults>allow_active to no. Save and exit. That will stop users being able to do that from the desktop.

    If you have a sleep or hibernate button on your keyboard or case, these will still work IIRC so you need to "break" their default behaviour. Run: 

    gconftool -s /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/hibernate -t string interactive

    Source.
