Public bug reported: On 17.04 I could close my laptop lid with an external monitor plugged in and the system would not sleep. After upgrading to 17.10 the system sleeps on lid close. If I boot with an external monitor attached, I can keep the lid closed and the system does not sleep, but if I disconnect and reconnect the monitor, the lid-close-suspend behaviour ensues.
This is not a problem with the 'Suspend on lid close' option - if I disable this option, then regardless of whether an external monitor is plugged in or not, the system does not suspend. Furthermore, the gsettings options "org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close- suspend-with-external-monitor" and "org.gnome.settings- daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-action" are "false" and "nothing" respectively. This seems to be related to the closed bug #1716160. My gnome-settings- daemon version is 3.26.1-0ubuntu5. ** Affects: gdm3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1732474 Title: Closing lid with external monitor plugged in sends system to sleep To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/1732474/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
