Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
Usecase: -------------- I want to connect my laptop to a monitor and then close the laptop lid, so that I can continue using my laptop with the display routed to the monitor. For doing so, I open the power management window and try to set the "When laptop lid is closed" option to "Do Nothing". However this option is simply not available. The only options available are "Shutdown", "Hibernate", 'Suspend" & "Blank Screen". The "Blank Screen" option is not suitable in this case, as it causes my monitor to display a blank screen on closing the laptop lid. Steps to reproduce: ------------------------------- Control Center -> Power Management -> Check the options under "When laptop lid is closed" (for both "On AC Power" and "On Battery Power" tabs) Workaround: -------------------- Manually set the values of 'lid_ac" and/or "lid_battery" to "nothing", as described in http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8275103&postcount=1 System configuration: ---------------------------------- Samsung netbook Ubuntu 10.10 Package version: --------------------------- gnome-power-manager: Installed: 2.32.0-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 2.32.0-0ubuntu1 ** Affects: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/736606 Title: "Do Nothing" option not available by default in the power management preferences dialog -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
