Addendum: When I open the lid again, here is what happens in the cases 1) and 2) described above:
1) laptop screen is switched back on in native resolution, external monitor is switched off (no signal) and has to be re-activated in System > Preferences > Display > "laptop off", "external on" 2) the laptop screen remains switched off and the external monitor works fine again in highest resolution Interesting: behaviors 1) and 2) alternate when I close and open the lid several times in a row (each time re-activating the external screen after behavior 1)). The Power Management setting remain unaffected on "do nothing" during all this. -- [Regression] No "do nothing" for laptop lid closed action https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/416236 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
