Remove Suspend & Hibernate From Indicator-Session

[Kirk Schnable]

I am working on a new customized Xubuntu 12.04 image to deploy to just under 1,000 computers this summer. Due to power management problems with some of our hardware, I have disabled Suspend and Hibernate from functioning using the policy kit. However, the options still appear on the drop-down menu for Indicator-Session.

This tutorial worked for me, when I was disabling the suspend & hibernate functionality... http://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/05/09/disable-suspend-and-hibernate-ubuntu/

I was successfully able to stop Suspend & Hibernate from working. However, I can not get the options to disappear from Indicator-Session. It is undesirable to have non-functional options present on the menu, which generate errors when clicked. I'd rather just have the options gone.

I tried this tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1830829
It succeeded in making the necessary xfconf booleans, however they did not have the desired effects. You can see that they truly do exist, here...

I would like to remove suspend & hibernate options from this drop-down...

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Don't have a 12.04 install handy, but in 13.04 you can right-click the Action Buttons applet and select Properties. There you can enable/disable menu items (Actions).

Unfortunately, on Xubuntu 12.04, this is not an option.

Have a look at this thread (http://askubuntu.com/questions/278155/how-to-change-the-hibernate-and-suspend-settings-at-a-system-wide-level-in-xfce) about kiosk mode - looks like it might work in 12.04.
