Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 20.04 with all current updates, GNOME/Wayland desktop, Dell
Latitude E5450 notebook.
I have external TV connected via HDMI and I want notebook to suspend
when I close lid even if TV is connected. This does not work. Even
though logind is configured to suspend in this case:
$ cat /etc/systemd/logind.conf.d/allow-suspend-with-hdmi.conf
[Login]
HandleLidSwitchDocked=suspend
$
gnome-settings-daemon starts inhibitor as soon as it detects external
monitor:
WHO UID USER PID COMM WHAT
WHY
MODE
bor 1001 bor 96600 gsd-power handle-lid-switch
External monitor attached or
configuration changed recently block
so sytemd-logind does not initiate suspend, but there is also no code in
gnome-settings-daemon itself to handle lid close (as it completely
relies on systemd-logind today).
Ubuntu package includes patch ubuntu-lid-close-suspend.patch that
restores gsettings keys, but as there is no code to actually *use* these
keys patch has no effect:
$ gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power | grep -w
lid
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-action 'suspend'
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-suspend-with-external-monitor
true
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-battery-action 'suspend'
$
This most trivial (untested) patch to use this settings seems to be:
