ubuntu-docs - "How do I hibernate my computer?" doesn't accomplish it's task

Also should the logind entry in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla be so short compared to the one in /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/com.ubuntu.desktop.pkla ?

@Sebastien: Is this actually a polkit bug, or is there a need to change the documentation?

@Gunnar, I think that logind/systemd changed and the permissions list needs to be updated like it was done on
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/185739824/policykit-desktop-privileges_0.18_0.19.diff.gz

Thanks. Added a policykit-desktop-privileges bug task.

I don't think there is any change needed in the desktop privileges definition?

No, there isn't, Sebastien. I misunderstood your hint above; thanks for explaining on IRC.

No, they should be identical. If they are, it works without editing /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/com.ubuntu.desktop.pkla (which is not recommended, since the file is owned by the policykit-desktop-privileges package, and changes would be overwritten at next update of that package).

I just committed the change. Thanks for reporting this bug, Enkouyami!
