I'm not sure if it's exactly the same bug but the symptoms look similar: under Gutsy, my HP nw8000 never reports lid as being closed in /proc/acpi/button/lid/C138/state and acpid doesn't generate any events when the lid is closed, although it does generate from one up to a dozen of them (!) when it is opened.
Notice that this used to work just fine under Dapper and Feisty so this is definitely a regression. I'd be happy to provide any addition information which may be needed to narrow this down, for now I attach dmidecode output. ** Attachment added: "output of dmidecode" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10244323/dmi-20071102 -- /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state always says "open" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89860 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
