Hibernate button is there in Kubuntu 13.04 but confirmation button outside desktop

[rese1]

Dear all

I have installed Kubuntu 13.04 on a XPS13 (Dell). The hibernate button is there in the panel, so that's good. However when I click on the hibernate button (in the panel) it launches a confirmation widget "Do you want to suspend to disk (hibernate)" and only the upper part of the widget is visible, the rest (I guess the Yes or No buttons) lies below the bottom of my screen/desktop so that it is not accessible (and no chance to move it).

(Best would be to show you a snapshot of the screen, but hard to do since I cannot access ksnapshot when the confirmation widget is on...)

I have Kubuntu 13.04 and: Linux pacome 3.8.0-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Tue May 14 22:16:46 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

thanks for any help you may provide here!

On my desktop, I didn't get a hibernate button, so I made my own, that runs

qdbus org.freedesktop.PowerManagement /org/freedesktop PowerManagementorg.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Hibernate

That command hibernates my desktop, without confirmation. If you want an icon on the panel to do that, right click the K menu, edit applications, and make an item that runs that "command" and save. Then, right click it to add it to the panel.

Thanks for the tip!

I had thought of making it appear as an icon. But I thought the present hibernate widget issue is probably a bug and should be solved. Not so important but odd. (if this happens to anybody else, I would be curious to get a way to remove this behaviour)

thanks again: will for sure add the icon on my desktop/panel

I get the exact same problem

I hope someone figures it out.

Bug still there indeed

I hope someone figures it out.

Well, no activity on this thread since I posted the first one. The problem is still there. Namly the hibernate button launches a widget which is half hidden. So the bug is still there.

Well, I'll throw something out there... What is your dpi set at (System Settings-->Fonts--->check box Force fonts DPI)?

[rese1]

thanks.

I had the Force fonts DPI box unchecked, but the underlying number is 96. Should I check that box?

[Buddlespit]

Ya, and check your font sizes. Most should be at 9 with one or two at 8

[rese1]

thanks. But this is the case. The problem does not seem linked to fonts here but really to the fact that the hibernate widget opens at the bottom of the screen and is not movable (it appears as overlapping with the bottom panel). The two options which I guess are "yes" or "no" (cannot see them) are below the screen. This just makes no sense (and really looks like a bug). I am suprised that so few see this problem (or maybe do not use the button).

I don't have a Fonts under System Settings, but I have System Settings->Common Appearance and Behavior->Application Appearance->Fonts that has such a check box unchecked. Checking it, or unchecking it has no effect, the Suspend and Hibernate buttons open request with buttons off the bottom of the screen. Since the popup also doesn't let me grab and drag the titlebar, I can't pull it up to where I can use it.

I'm (always) using the Classical K-menu and it has the hibernate button included in the shutdown menu.
No separate plasmoid needed.
