Public bug reported: In Ubuntu 12.10, when I close the laptop lid, the wlan connection is closed. Wired (ethernet) connections keep working normally.
This prevents using only external monitor in places where wired connections are not accessible and forces the user to keep the laptop display on even if it is not needed. Changing the power manager settings to "Do nothing" does not affect this. It also does not matter if the laptop is plugged in or not. Looking at this discussion, it seems this problem has existed at least from Ubuntu 8.04, and Kubuntu is affected as well: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=968785 Apparently, at some point, disabling the screen saver would fix this issue. However, there is no such setting on Ubuntu 12.10. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1153252 Title: wifi stops working when laptop lid is closed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1153252/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
