[Bug 1766683] [NEW] Kubuntu 18.04: No hibernation when closing lid

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Rik Mills (rikmills):

On a fresh Kubuntu 18.04beta with all pachages upgraded,
hibernation works fine when triggered manually, but closing the lid doesn't get the laptop to hibernate.

Upstream bug: "powerdevil defaults to do nothing when closing laptop
lid" (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=391782)

Fix committed upstream:
https://cgit.kde.org/powerdevil.git/commit/?id=be91abe7fc8cc731b57bec4cf2c004c07b0fd79b

The importance of this issue should be raised, since users might damage
their laptops by carrying them without realizing they're not suspended,
as reported here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349750

Adding the following lines to ~/.config/powermanagementprofilesrc leads
to the desired behaviour:

diff --git a/.config/powermanagementprofilesrc b/.config/powermanagementprofilesrc
index cedec28..26c0e3c 100644
