In my case it's exactly the same as described by @json684 in post 8 ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power- manager/+bug/44058/comments/8 )
the value in /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state toggles rather than reflecting the true state. I'm wondering if this means the bug is in the laptop/acpi software rather than gnome-power-manager... My laptop is a HP Compaq nx9005 running Ubuntu 9.10. I can't believe the bug has persisted so long! -- suspend when closing laptop lid doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44058 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
