Re: No option to hibernate in xfce logout menu

Which distro are you using and how are you starting Xfce (xinit or display manger)? dbus would need to be set up properly.

Do you have adequate swap space to accommodate a hibernate?

You might also be to force the option via:

xfconf-query --channel xfce4-session --create --property /general/ShowHibernate --type bool --set true

Edit: maybe also post back the contents of ~/.xsession-errors (if your distro uses it).
