It seems that the behaviour desired by this bug is the default in Ubuntu 13.10.
Note too that there are people lobbying to be able to sleep on lid-close only when no monitor is connected as well! See http://askubuntu.com/q/362337/17164 When I move to my desk, I close the laptop and use a nice large monitor. There does not seem to be an option to avoid sleeping on lid close when an external monitor is connected any more. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/951790 Title: Laptop does not suspend on lid close when external display is connected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/951790/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
