I just found a way to get the lid switch to work under certain conditions! It's slightly bizarre and quite ironic.
Do a hibernation and then start up from hibernation. That made the lid switch work in jaunty beta. It also made the /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state change as expected. Before the hibernation it was always "open". Can anyone confirm my findings? I did this on my trusty HP Compaq nc8000. -- No blank screen when laptop lid is closed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293063 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
