Another 'vote,' to advise that this de-featuring has crept through related gnome-power-preferences options, not just lid-closing:
Some desktop keyboards feature overly-prominent "Suspend" buttons. The "Do nothing" option has disappeared for suspend button behavior as well. Sometimes "Suspend" still does not work and it's helpful to be able to avoid foot-shooting until there's time to debug it properly. It looks like you've bisected this already, but re: the Suspend option, somehow I have two systems cdromupgrade'd to 9.10, one ('CD-only') still offering "Do Nothing", the other (all updates through December 1, 2009) not. I'm not in front of them to check version numbers, but locally machines with 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 all lack it. [Suspend trouble is a failure to resume on HP Compaq SR1611NX desktops, using the "HP" A8AE-LE "Amberine" motherboard with no added hardware for those who care.] -- [Regression] No "do nothing" for laptop lid closed action https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/416236 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
