Disable suspend / hibernate via the policykit

Question

I am trying to run Lubuntu 12.04, but if the computer suspends I am unable to bootup again.

Instead I see the bios post, the hard disk light flickers once and I have to install again (I have tried to re-install grub2).

I am new to Linux and what I found that best answered my question was posted by James Henstridge.

The instructions say to create disable-shutdown.pkla in etc/polkit-1/50-local.d/ but this directory does not exist, so do I create a folder titled 50-local.d in poolkit-1 or do I have to place this file elsewhere?

Solution

Instead of etc/polkit-1/50-local.d/

You can find 50-local.d in this path:

/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/disable-shutdown.pkla

the question was ` do I have to place this file elsewhere?` and @redonath no it goes in the same place! although you should post a comment here askubuntu.com/questions/93542/… to confirm that
