Created attachment 6775 Hybrid Sleep support Hybrid Sleep support - "hibernate" and suspend the system Hybrid Sleep initially only writes hibernation image to SWAP space, it does not power off the machine, as a whole Suspend To Disk (S4) does, it rather Suspend To RAM (S3). The benefit of this combination is pronto RESUME from S3, whilst in case of battery drained or interruptions in power supply of any kind, you ain't gonna lose your work. Hybrid Sleep is the feature of the Linux kernel. To test it directly via cli: echo suspend > /sys/power/disk ; echo disk > /sys/power/state However to make this feature work, both Suspend To RAM (S3) and Suspend To Disk (S4) must be provided by the hardware dmesg: ACPI: (supports ... S3 S4 ...) in working order. Furthermore Suspend To Disk (S4) requires a relatively simple configuration an appendix to kernel command line: resume=<path to resume partition> i.e. directive to utilize particular SWAP space man 7 dracut.cmdline Ref. https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/power/swsusp.txt Hybrid Sleep support, here in the Xfce's panel - via Action Buttons, is dependent on Hybrid Sleep support in the Xfce's session manager.
Hey, I think this is for the panel or a panel plugin? It doesn't look like it's the xfpm version. I can move it if you tell me where it goes.
@eric: This report is against the actions plugin of the panel
For reference, this is the commit that enables this in xfce4-session: https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-session/commit/?id=37f681e6c203c0ad8837869ccef45d32a8489afd

Please note that I have slightly amended your patch and disabled the hybrid sleep option by default (especially as it will not be available on every system by default). Distro maintainers are free to change this.
