[Bug 948163] Re: System suspends upon closing the lid while installing/partitioning using a live CD

  I think that the setting on closing the lid of a laptop should be set to
- "do nothing" instead of "suspend". It makes no sense that you keep this
+ "do nothing" instead of "suspend" or inhibit system suspend completely
+ while installation is taking place. It makes no sense that you keep this
  setting as "suspend" when this could interrupt the install or disk
  partitioning tasks. Both in ubiquity by choosing "install ubuntu" right
  after booting the installation CD or after choosing "try ubuntu" and
  then "install ubuntu". It also affects you if you only use "gparted"
  after choosing "try ubuntu" but before choosing "install ubuntu".
  
  This happened to me when the partitioning process was in progress. A
  friend came by to invite me to have lunch together and closed the lid of
  my laptop because he didn't think I was doing anything important (I was
  lying back in my chair while the partitioning/installation progressed).
  Needless to say NTFS got screwed and by consequence so did my windows
  partition.
  
  In my opinion this is expected behaviour when booting into any operating
  system's installation media.

  System suspends upon closing the lid while installing/partitioning

  I think that the setting on closing the lid of a laptop should be set
  to "do nothing" instead of "suspend" or inhibit system suspend
  completely while installation is taking place. It makes no sense to
  keep this setting as "suspend" when this could interrupt the install
  or disk partitioning tasks. Both in ubiquity by choosing "install
  ubuntu" right after booting the installation CD or after choosing "try
  ubuntu" and then "install ubuntu". It also affects you if you only use
  "gparted" after choosing "try ubuntu" but before choosing "install
  ubuntu".

  In my opinion this is expected behaviour when booting into any
  operating system's installation media.
