Clicking System -> Shutdown

Am I missing a package? Is this a mate problem??
I don't know why this is the case. However, a little bit of research turns up people having the same problem...as do I on one system. Running KDE and the "Leave" submenu doesn't show "Suspend" or "Hibernate". It does on VM's.
First you can check if your system supports various modes by using the "pm-is-supported" with the various options and checking the exit status. See the man page.
You can also use pm-hibernate, pm-suspend to test the functions.
The info I read suggests there is a bug in the pm-utils package that doesn't affect everyone. It may be worth your while to file a bugzilla. I don't make use of this feature, so I would probably be a poor candidate to do the reporting and follow-up.
