I didn't know the command pkaction. It's quite handy. Here are the output of the pkaction: $ pkaction | grep "\(hibernate\)\|\(suspend\)" -i org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate org.freedesktop.upower.suspend $ pkaction --action-id org.freedesktop.upower.suspend --verbose org.freedesktop.upower.suspend: description: Suspend the system message: Authentication is required to suspend the system vendor: The UPower Project vendor_url: http://upower.freedesktop.org/ icon: system-suspend implicit any: no implicit inactive: no implicit active: yes $ pkaction --action-id org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate --verbose org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate: description: Hibernate the system message: Authentication is required to hibernate the system vendor: The UPower Project vendor_url: http://upower.freedesktop.org/ icon: system-suspend implicit any: no implicit inactive: no implicit active: yes I think my current settings is overwritten by an most recent system update to "yes" now. But the problem exists no matter what setting that is.
