Dave, please try this and report the results: Open a terminal window and run
lshal -m then close and reopen the lid. HAL needs to detect the lid open/close before anything useful can happen... It would also be useful to have additional information. When you report the results of the lshal test, please include the output of uname -a If you could also attach the output of the following commands, that would be great! (Please attach one file per command, uncompressed, and please do be sure to attach, not include inline - you'll have to use Launchpad directly to do this, but it's the best way to present the information) sudo lspci -vv sudo lspci -vvn sudo dmidecode Please be sure to use sudo, root privileges are required to get the neede information. Thanks! ** Changed in: acpi (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state returns closed https://launchpad.net/bugs/78163 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
