I examined the problem more closely. Lid is closed, because the laptop is on the dock. Connection via display port. When I connect via HDMI there are no problems with turning on or off the monitor. It doesn't matter how the monitor is switched off, manual or screensaver or even by command from command line. The suspend is actually triggered when you switch the monitor on(!) again. I didn't noticed it so far, because it happens instantly, when you touch anything keyboard or mouse to wake up the monitor from screensaver. So, monitor is switched off, system runs, I even could ping it. Wake up the monitor will send the system into suspend. Even more strange behavior. Graphic card, see my first mail.

When I have my laptop on the docking station, I want it to behave like a desktop. I least this was the behavior the last 20 years. So of course the lid is closed and turning off and on the last monitor shouldn't suspend the system. > But if this happens with the laptop still open, then this might be a > kernel problem with lid switch detection. > > Ben. > > > Attached is the journalctl output once with linux-image-4.9.0-3- > > amd64 > > booted and once with linux-image-4.9.0-4-amd64. > > _______________________________________________ Pkg-systemd-maintainers mailing list Pkg-systemd-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-systemd-maintainers
