I meant that when you dock or undock a laptop you get a particular evdev event (SW_DOCK), which logind checks for. This tells apart the simple "external monitor" case from "laptop sits closed in dock and only uses external monitor".
That the laptop doesn't suspend under a VT is not expected (unless you changed HandleLidSwitch=). That might warrant another bug report against systemd. But under unity it's definitively unity-settings-daemon's policy which gets applied here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1415958 Title: Laptop + external display does not suspend on lid close Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Since update to Vivid, laptop does not suspend on lid close if an external monitor is connected, even though suspend is selected in the power settings for lid close. The display flashes and apps move to external display. Syslog shows no attempt to suspend. On Utopic it suspended ok with external monitor. In the logs the lid was closed on Jan 29 15:04:00 and opened at 15:04:30. There are messages in syslog at that time but I suspect they may be a different issue: i915 0000:00:02.0: BAR 6: [??? 0x00000000 flags 0x2] has bogus alignment WORKAROUND: Suspend via the menu. WORKAROUND: Disconnect external monitor first.
