I added the workaround referenced by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power- manager/+bug/1286430/comments/8 to the bug description at the top.
** Description changed: + Workaround + ========== + + Based on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power- + manager/+bug/1286430/comments/8. + + 1. Install the dconf-editor command if necessary: + + $ sudo apt-get install dconf-tools + + 2. Run dconf-editor and select + + "org > gnome > settings-daemon > plugins > power" + + 3. Set "lid-close-ac-action" and "lid-close-battery-action" to + "suspend". + + The "suspend" option will now be selected in the Power Settings. It's + still greyed out, so if you change it to e.g. "nothing" you have to use + dconf-editor again to change it back to "suspend". + + + Bug description + =============== + :~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch) Release: 14.04 erich@erich-Aspire-5334:~$ apt-cache policy gnome-power-manager gnome-power-manager: - Installed: 3.8.2-1ubuntu2 - Candidate: 3.8.2-1ubuntu2 - Version table: - *** 3.8.2-1ubuntu2 0 - 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + Installed: 3.8.2-1ubuntu2 + Candidate: 3.8.2-1ubuntu2 + Version table: + *** 3.8.2-1ubuntu2 0 + 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status If this is the incorrect package, please redirect. In power options for "When the lid is closed" no option is given except for "Do Nothing". "Suspend" is there, but unselectable. Suspend should be a selectable option on laptop computers. As expected, closing laptop lid merely locks the screen. However, since "Suspend" cannot be selected, the option to suspend upon lid closing is unavailable. Expected: Suspend option selectable. Happened: Suspend option not selectable. Specs: Acer Aspire 5334, 4GB RAM, 320 GB HDD, Intel Celeron 2.0 Ghz.
