I recently found out that this might not be because of a kernel update but because of certain I did around a week ago. I disabled laptop-hotkeys at start-up using sysv-rc-conf and actually then the lid action started working. The bug is not in the kernel but in the hotkeys-setup package. Please try to give more importance to this bug now that we atleast have some idea about what direction we have to move in.
If this is of some help here is what my syslog (more specifically Xorg.0.log) shows when I press the button that gets pressed when laptop lid is closed and that causes the determined action (in System>Preferences>Power Management) to be performed: (II) PM Event received: Capability Changed I830PMEvent: Capability change (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "LPL", prod id 56064 (II) intel(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: (II) intel(0): Modeline "1280x800"x0.0 71.00 1280 1328 1360 1440 800 803 809 823 -hsync -vsync (49.3 kHz) (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "LPL", prod id 56064 (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "LPL", prod id 56064 (II) intel(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: (II) intel(0): Modeline "1280x800"x0.0 71.00 1280 1328 1360 1440 800 803 809 823 -hsync -vsync (49.3 kHz) (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "LPL", prod id 56064 (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "LPL", prod id 56064 (II) intel(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: (II) intel(0): Modeline "1280x800"x0.0 71.00 1280 1328 1360 1440 800 803 809 823 -hsync -vsync (49.3 kHz) (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "LPL", prod id 56064 (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "LPL", prod id 56064 (II) intel(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: (II) intel(0): Modeline "1280x800"x0.0 71.00 1280 1328 1360 1440 800 803 809 823 -hsync -vsync (49.3 kHz) (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "LPL", prod id 56064 (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "LPL", prod id 56064 (II) intel(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: (II) intel(0): Modeline "1280x800"x0.0 71.00 1280 1328 1360 1440 800 803 809 823 -hsync -vsync (49.3 kHz) (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "LPL", prod id 56064 (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "LPL", prod id 56064 (II) intel(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: (II) intel(0): Modeline "1280x800"x0.0 71.00 1280 1328 1360 1440 800 803 809 823 -hsync -vsync (49.3 kHz) (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "LPL", prod id 56064 (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "LPL", prod id 56064 (II) intel(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: (II) intel(0): Modeline "1280x800"x0.0 71.00 1280 1328 1360 1440 800 803 809 823 -hsync -vsync (49.3 kHz) (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "LPL", prod id 56064 (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "LPL", prod id 56064 (II) intel(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines: (II) intel(0): Modeline "1280x800"x0.0 71.00 1280 1328 1360 1440 800 803 809 823 -hsync -vsync (49.3 kHz) (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "LPL", prod id 56064 -- No action when closing screen on HP 530 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277534 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
