This bug affects me as well and as many of the people in earlier comments I have a HP laptop as well (EliteBook 840 G3).
The workaround in #5 works for me as well. Could systemd be thinking that the laptops are docked even if they are not? I also noticed that the folder /sys/devices/platform/dock.0 is missing on my laptop. This folder is supposed to contain a file with the docked status. Maybe this is the cause of our problems? Other people affected by this: Could you check if the /sys/device/platform/dock.0 folder is missing for you too? Next question would be how to fix it, I don't know the answer to that... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574120 Title: Notebook doesn't suspend when lid is closed after update to 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1574120/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
