I consider this a serious bug. (Scenario 1: another laptop user logs out*, closes the lid, and you find yourself without any battery power for the rest of the day. Scenario 2: log out, close the laptop lid, pack in luggage and the laptop overheats.)
There is a work-around fortunately. Edit /etc/acpi/event/lidbtn and change the action line to action=/etc/acpi/sleep.sh (The lid.sh script doesn't seem to do anything remotely useful. Surely default should be sleep.) * I've trained my niece to log herself out of machines when she's done so that other people won't use her account. I don't want to retrain her the other way round. -- Should be able to set power preferences systemwide, eg. sleep on lid closed on gdm login screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162124 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
