Hi Michael! I redid the update, but paid more attention to the steps..
first, I did apt-get purge acpi-fakekey acpi-support acpi-support followed by apt-get install acpi-support acpi-support-base acpi-fakekey This gets me version 0.141-4 Then I edit /etc/default/acpi-support to enable LID_SLEEP=true followed by /etc/init.d/acpi-support restart After which closing the lid at this laptop does *not* result in suspend now copying over policy-funcs from acpi-support-base 0.141-2 into /usr/share/acpi-support/policy-funcs followed by /etc/init.d/acpi-support restart *does* result in suspend being called when closing the lid -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
