Why should a user have to install gnome-tweak (assuming they knew what gnome-tweak was to begin with)?
This was easily configurable previously, someone just decided that users wouldn't want to actually prevent their system from suspending when the lid is closed. But expecting the majority of users to start editing config files manually, or intuiting that there's something called "gnome-tweak" that will allow them to actually configure the power settings on their system isn't a proper solution for an OS geared towards the masses. To be honest, I'm NOT a typical user, and this is really the first time I've ever heard of gnome-tweak myself. Is there any benefit to NOT allowing users to configure this behaviour in the system configuration tools that ship with Ubuntu? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/792636 Title: Power section no longer allows configuration of "when the lid is closed" action in Oneiric Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center In Natty I was able to configure what happens when the laptop lid was closed. Now that option doesn't exist in the power settings. I tried to set the following gconf options to "nothing", but they had no immediate effect: /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/lid_battery /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/lid_ac It would be helpful to know a temporary workaround as I close my laptop all the time but I never suspend/hibernate it.
