Button not showing in Ubuntu 16.10 and above #14

I have installed the extension but no button shows up in the menu.

Going through lg the extension emitted no errors.

After running journalctl I found that the extension is throwing some errors:

sorry, I had a difficult May. Ubuntu 16.10 should have gnome-shell 3.20, which is strange since I used this extension successfully on 3.20. Have you installed a later version (3.24) from some external repository by any chance?

RicardoEPRodrigues commented 7 years ago

I'm currently using Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 that ships with shell 3.24, but the button didn't show up in 3.20 either.

I could enable to show the hibernation button in Ubuntu 17.10 following the official documentation. However, I could not get the resuming to work, which is rather a problem with Ubuntu or my hardware than with this extension. In Fedora it all works ;)

Looking at the error after @c7hm4r comment, it makes sense: if hibernation is disabled in login manager, the button won't show up (and print that error on the system log). If this issue persists after following the documentation linked above, I will reopen this.
