Title:
lid close simply turns off laptop screen
Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
OS: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (beaver-three-eyed-raven X92.1)
ubuntu-session version: 3.28.1-0ubuntu3
Expected behavior: On laptop screen close, system should suspend
Actual behavior: On laptop screen close, laptop screen disabled
Previously, I triggered 'suspend when laptop lid is closed' in gnome-
tweaks. This worked fine until about 2-3 days ago, when I came back to
work with a dead laptop (I don't charge overnight, usually, but I do
use a dock at work). Now, whenever I close my laptop screen, it
doesn't trigger sleep - instead, it simply disables the laptop screen,
resulting in my external monitor being used as the only output screen.
Once I re-open my laptop, the laptop screen is re-enabled as the
primary monitor.
This happens regardless of connection to my dock. I tested this by
unplugging my laptop, closing it, letting it sit for 3 minutes, then
re-opening it. While the laptop was closed, fans still ran. When I re-
opened my laptop, the lock screen didn't appear.
