HP Pavilion g6 here. After upgrading the past month from 14.04 to 16.04, I was also affected by this bug, where with 14.04 I closed the lid and my laptop suspended as it should.
I tried to set HandleLidSwitch=suspend in logind.conf but it made no change, the laptop wouldn't suspend. Today I upgraded from 16.04 to 16.10 and it was all the same, closing the lid of my laptop does not suspend it. Reading the comments on this thread, I added HandleLidSwitchDocked=suspend to my logind.conf and now it works perfectly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574120 Title: Notebook doesn't suspend when lid is closed after update to 16.04 Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: My notebook does not suspend after upgrading from 15.10 to 16.04. According to system settings the notebook should suspend when lid is closed but actually this does not happen. Instead it continues to run as if nothing had happened. With the previous versions of ubuntu (14.04-15.10) everything worked fine. My System: HP Pavilion dv7.
