KDE suspend / hibernate just executes the screensaver

[mbod]

Hi,

I am running Mint LMDE with incoming repos.

On the commandline I can suspend and hibernate the computer with
pm-suspend and pm-hibernate. But when I click on the Suspend or
Hibernate button in the KDE exit dialog only the screensaver gets started.

What is missing?

Ciao

I've had similar problems on and off with various iterations of Kubuntu/Mint KDE on different computers. For some reason, the menu Leave/Suspend/Hibernate doesn't work. I've never been able to track down the cause, but I've always "solved" the issue with a workaround. Add one of the Leave/Suspend/Hibernate widgets to your panel.
