I have similar problems (bug #43391) and as I wrote there, it is possible to go round this problem by removing /etc/acpi/lid.sh and then commanding: sudo ln -s /etc/acpi/sleepbtn.sh /etc/acpi/lid.sh.
This has the effect that when the lid is closed the machine runs sleepbtn.sh and effectively puts it in sleep state =) Of course this does not solve the problem, but makes it easier to live with it... -- Lid state is incorrect https://launchpad.net/bugs/34389 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
