Just to clarify a bit more, this was asked on Ask Ubuntu (http://askubuntu.com/q/244323/88802) and it seems an issue still valid for current Ubuntu releases.
Steps to reproduce: - Start a regular desktop environment. - Configure the laptop "closing lid" action to suspend the machine. - Shut the system down using the regular "Shut Down" procedure in the GUI. - Close the lid while the system is still in the procedure of shutting down. What happens? - The system is suspended in a shutting-down state. - Resuming the system returns to the state it was suspended and the shut down procedure is continued. What do we expect to happen instead? - The system to ignore this closing-lid action, or: - Ignore all suspend requests together It makes no sense to me to have a system allow to go in a suspend state while shutting down. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/471457 Title: Shutdown does not have priority over suspend/hibernation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/471457/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
