had the same issue on my hp2510p you can disconnect the sensor lid so when you close it nothing happen.
to disconnect it, remove the cover where you have the power switch, touchpad on/off, volume... no need to unscrew anything. you will find the sensor connector next to the power switch, it's the connector with 2 wires. when disconnect, you can then close the lid for as long as you want without crashing ubuntu or the touchpad turned off. -- Notebooks freezes after closing lid or pressing some FN key combination https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/65027 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
