Confirming the but is still present. If the setting on power manager is set to "switch off display", upon closing the lid on a fresh install of Xubuntu 16.04 it still goes into suspend mode.
The solution proposed ( xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4 -power-manager/logind-handle-lid-switch -n -t bool -s false) does not work for me. Manually editing ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power- manager.xml the value of logind-handle-lid-switch from "empty" to type="bool" value="false" also doesn't work, as the value keeps reverting back to "empty". The problem is exacerbated by the bug #1303736. Curiously when the laptop lid option is set to "lock screen" instead, it is respected, and the computer only locks the screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1307545 Title: Power Manager settings are ignored when closing laptop lid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-locker/+bug/1307545/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
