I'm running an Intel HD Graphics 620 (Kaby Lake GT2) (I believe the i915 driver), on a Dell XPS 13.
My apologies, I should have mentioned that this only happens in the session, not in the greeter. In fact, if I log in with the lid open and the external screen plugged in, I can close the laptop screen and keep using the system, but if I then disconnect the laptop from the screen, plug the screen back in, then close the lid, the system suspends (i.e. it seems to be a problem only once the system has been without an external monitor at least once since login). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1732474 Title: Closing lid with external monitor plugged in sends system to sleep Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On 17.04 I could close my laptop lid with an external monitor plugged in and the system would not sleep. After upgrading to 17.10 the system sleeps on lid close. If I boot with an external monitor attached, I can keep the lid closed and the system does not sleep, but if I disconnect and reconnect the monitor, the lid-close-suspend behaviour ensues. This is not a problem with the 'Suspend on lid close' option - if I disable this option, then regardless of whether an external monitor is plugged in or not, the system does not suspend. Furthermore, the gsettings options "org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close- suspend-with-external-monitor" and "org.gnome.settings- daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-action" are "false" and "nothing" respectively. This seems to be related to the closed bug #1716160. My gnome- settings-daemon version is 3.26.1-0ubuntu5.
