[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

[Impact]
High. All users with laptops are affected.
The Laptop sleeps when lid is closed, regardless of Power Manager settings. This also occurs in the Live install where Sleep is not even an option for lid closure actions.

[Test Case]
Close the lid of any laptop running xubuntu, lubuntu or ubuntu studio 13.10.
The device will go to sleep regardless of xfce4-power-manager's settings.

[Regression potential]
Low. The patch has been extensively tested is Xubuntu, SUSE, Debian, and upstream.
This change doesn't affect external packages.

[Patch]
Merge lp:~noskcaj/ubuntu/saucy/xfce4-power-manager/systemd
This contains two patches and enables dh-autoreconf to force xdt-autogen to run.

[Original Bug]
Laptop sleeps when lid is closed, regardless of Power Manager settings. This also occurs in the Live install where Sleep is not even an option for lid closure actions. Confirmed in Ubuntu Studio 13.10 Beta 1 x64 and Xubuntu 13.10 Beta 1. Does not occur in Ubuntu Studio 13.04.

WORKAROUND: This can be adjusted in /etc/systemd/logind.conf. Just set
HandleLidSwitch and other the events you want handled by systemd to
"ignore" - you have to delete # in the beginning of the respective lines
-, save, close the file, and restart.
