[Bug 1574120] Re: Notebook doesn't suspend when lid is closed after update to 16.04

[Gaute]

I have a similar problem on 18.04 on a Lenovo V330.
Suspend works fine without external monitor, but no matter what I do it's inhibited when its connected. I want it to suspend always.

$ grep -i lid /etc/systemd/logind.conf
#HandleLidSwitch=suspend
HandleLidSwitchDocked=suspend
#LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=yes

$ dconf read /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/lid-close-suspend-with-external-monitor
true

$ systemd-inhibit --list --mode=block

     Why: Multiple displays attached
    Mode: block

Only the second of these goes away when monitor is unplugged, but lid
close still works.

This is possibly due to a bug in gsd-power which is mentioned in the following guthub issues.

Title:
  Notebook doesn't suspend when lid is closed after update to 16.04

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  My notebook does not suspend after upgrading from 15.10 to 16.04.

  According to system settings the notebook should suspend when lid is
  closed but actually this does not happen. Instead it continues to run
  as if nothing had happened.

  With the previous versions of ubuntu (14.04-15.10) everything worked
  fine.

  My System: HP Pavilion dv7.
