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.
