@Nolan I've been using Kubuntu so it may be that we are not talking about the same issue.
My problem started when I installed Karmic and continued when I upgraded to Lucid, up until today when I discovered that it was simply a question of changing the lid-close action in the Ubuntu power management settings. I'd done a clean install of Karmic, so this must obviously have been the default. I never thought to check something that in hindsight should have been so obvious because it never occurred to me that someone might set "lock the screen" as the lid-closing action. It is something no one in their right mind would do unless they thought burnt-out computers made nice doorstops. So if the same default is still being applied in Lucid, could I suggest that this default is the bug? It is entirely conceivable that a new user could innocently put the lid down in a hurry, expecting the behaviour they were used to in Windows, and cook their machine. -- Sleep and lid buttons don't work in Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483258 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
