This issue appears not just at the lightdm login screen but also if you are in a virtual terminal.
For a work around try the recommendation on this site: http://www.infty.nl/wordpress/2012/12/gnome-3-on-ubuntu-raring-and-suspend/comment-page-1/ Similar instructions are here but without the explanation: http://askubuntu.com/questions/71033/closing-the-lid-isnt-toggeling-standby-anymore-after-update-in-lubuntu-how-can I named the created file lid.sh.pre not lid.sh.post as /etc/acpi/lid.sh already references lid.sh.post. Don't forget to make the file executable (like I usually do) as instruscted on that page. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/990887 Title: LightDM does not suspend when lid is closed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/990887/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
