I have installed Fedora 15 Alpha with GNOME 3. Everything is working fine. However, I can't see any option to hibernate or shutdown.
In the top panel when I click my user name, I only have one option and that is to suspend. Normally I like to hibernate or shutdown. And I can't see any option of what to do when I close my netbook. Normally, I prefer to hibernate.

Hold down the Alt key and Suspend will change to Power off.

Install following extension will add "Shutdown" and "Hibernate" to your menu:
yum install gnome-shell-extensions-alternative-status-menu
From: http://mygeekopinions.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-to-add-shutdownhibernate-menus-in.html
Solution for Ubuntu:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extensions-alternative-status-menu
From http://www.noobslab.com/2011/10/status-menu-gnome-shell-extension-for.html
Solution for Debian (should also work in Ubuntu):
Install gnome-tweak-tool:
sudo aptitude install gnome-tweak-tool
Restart the gnome-shell (Alt-F2 and type "r", then return.) Then open gnome-tweak-tool and go to "Shell Extensions" and set the option "Alternative Status Menu Extension"

I've googled for the answer too, but before I read any provided, I had an insight: just press the power button on your device, a menu will pop up.

Sadly, that menu doesn't offer the Hibernate option... – Yatharth Agarwal – 2013-01-05T09:05:54.877

Another option is to install "gnome-tweak-tool" (which you may already have) and then set the "power button action" in the "shell" options to "Hibernate", achieving the obvious. Not ideal, but it's a straight forward gui solution.

I can't seem to find this in gnome-tweaks (as this tool is named now) in Gnome 3.32, so maybe they removed the preference entirely? – Matthijs Kooijman – 2019-10-26T00:44:11.617
@MatthijsKooijman I can't find it here on Ubuntu anymore either. So I guess they removed it, in good old Gnome tradition. I've installed a Gnome extension that adds a hibernate button next to the shutdown one instead. – DanMan – 2019-10-27T09:46:51.363
2Thanks Patches. That worked for the shutdown. However, I still need to hibernate. Is there any option to hibernate. And is there any option to hibernate when I close the network. Thanks. – ant2009 – 2011-04-06T09:45:37.553
@ant: AFAICT GNOME 3 doesn't offer a way to hibernate. You can try sending the cross-desktop Hibernate dbus command by running this on a terminal:
dbus-send --session --dest=org.freedesktop.PowerManagement --type=method_call /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Hibernate– Patches – 2011-04-06T10:02:03.2104You can install the 'gnome-tweak-tool' that has advanced settings for setting for the power management. That solved my problem. Thanks. – ant2009 – 2011-04-06T10:13:49.983

Vice versa in the newer versions... – Yatharth Agarwal – 2013-01-05T09:02:31.963
