I can reproduce this with karmic gnome. After selecting "shutdown" a dialog appears with a 60 seconds countdown. Now i close the lid. Instead of shutting down, the laptop suspends now. After pressing a key i enter my password, the screen is restored and the countdown continues. Ok, i could cancel the countdown to avoid the shutdown.
But this should behave differently: Shutdown->Countdown->Closing lid->no suspend, but shutdown after countdown, or maybe shutdown immediately. -- Closing lid during initial shutdown causes notebook to suspend https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138194 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
