I have the same issue with my laptop. The funny thing is that it has started happening when I changed to a new monitor. I thought it was because using HDMI, but it also happens with VGA.
The new monitor is a Samsung Syncmaster S23B550. The old monitor (where it worked without problems) is a Samsung Syncmaster T220. With the T220 and VGA I could close the lid and work with my monitor. With the S23B550 the external monitor shuts off and screen is locked when opening back both with VGA and HDMI. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/990908 Title: Won't honor "Do Nothing" when Lid is Closed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-power/+bug/990908/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
