[Bug 1799038] Re: Ubuntu 18.10 does not suspend on lid close

Thu Nov 29 19:08:18 UTC 2018

I have the same problem on a fresh installed 18.10 for 32-bits, but only if external monitor is connected.
Indeed this is a well known peoblem at internet.

sudo journalctl -b -u systemd-logind  with debugging on (systemd.log-level=debug) without external monitor shows succeeding suspend:

sudo journalctl -b -u systemd-logind  with debugging on (systemd.log-level=debug) with connected external monitor shows refusing suspend:

The command systemd-inhibit --list shows next entry as soon as an external monitor is attached to the laptop.
     Who: gert (UID 1000/gert, PID 2342/gsd-power)
    What: handle-lid-switch
     Why: Multiple displays attached
    Mode: block

So program gsd-power is responsible for inhibiting the handling of the
lid-switch.  The suspend-action will not occcur. This is not
configurable and I think that is ridiculous.

Title:
  Ubuntu 18.10 does not suspend on lid close

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After an upgrade to Ubuntu 18.10 suspend to RAM due to closing the lid
  on notebooks does not work any more.

  The machine goes to suspend mode but wakes up immediately due to some
  events (can be network, or others).

  In 18.04 this issue was fixed (we had the same situation with any
  version since 14.04).

  Seems a regression.

  Mitigation reports suggesting to change /etc/systemd/logind.conf are WRONG. The changes do NOTHING.
  One might spare the time to experiment.
