Sleep function missing from logout dialog

I don't exactly recall when this happened, since my I've been running Statler on my Aspire One netbook for a few months, but the sleep button vanished from the logout dialog (Super+x). The remaining options are: reboot, shutdown, log out and hibernate. What bothers me is that sleep worked pretty well on this system and now it's gone.

That's pretty much it, the only thing I have to complain about this wonderful distro.

I don't remember "sleep" ever being an option, but I could have missed it.

Oops, I guess it was called suspend, but it's still gone!

Re: Sleep function missing from logout dialog

I lately had an issue where pm-utils was autoremoved.
Could it be something like this in your case?

Edit: Can you

sudo pm-suspend

via the terminal?

Re: Sleep function missing from logout dialog

You can edit the cb-exit script easily.

In First def-part:

...
self.suspend.set_sensitive(False)
...

Between the other "def" 's:

...
def suspend_action(self,btn):
    self.disable_buttons()
    self.status.set_label("Suspending, please standby...")
    os.system("cb-lock")
    os.system("dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=\"org.freedesktop.UPower\" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend")
    gtk.main_quit()
...

... and between the #xyz button - parts

...
#Suspend button
self.suspend = gtk.Button("_Suspend")
self.suspend.set_border_width(4)
self.suspend.connect("clicked", self.suspend_action)
self.button_box.pack_start(self.suspend)
self.suspend.show()
...

Mine looks like this:

Thanks! But still, I edited the cb-exit script and all I got my system to do is put the display to sleep.
