Same here on my HP 5101 on 10.04 and 10.10, but the backlight won't even turn off for a second (on karmic it maybe did).
It will though work perfectly when an ethernet cable is connected to the netbook! /proc/acpi/button/lid/C1D2/state works always. -- Screen does not shut down when I close the lid on HP mini 5101 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446701 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
