Disable Suspend & Hibernation in Ubuntu

For longest time now I’ve been wanting to know how to disable this but never actually got round to finding out… Installing Ubuntu on my sisters laptop has forced my hand… Quite frankly I don’t like them, if it’s using power it’s not saving power.

SWITCHED OFF is the best power saving you can get!

Anyway, found it here.

• Press Alt+F2 (Run Box)
• Type gconf-editor and Press enter
• Browse to gnome-power-manager > general
• uncheck can_hibernate & uncheck can_suspend
