Hi Gilles. You can solve this bug (or missfunctionality) of gnome- control-center using dconf-editor instead of gconf-editor. Open dconf- editor and navigate to org -> gnome -> settings-daemon -> plugins -> power. Set 'lid-close-ac-action' and/or 'lid-close-battery action' to 'shutdown'.
You can also solve this problem with Gnome-Tweak, navigate to Gnome- shell and modify 'Laptop lid close action on battery' and/or 'laptop lid close action when on AC' Wish this helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880331 Title: Can no longer "shutdown" when laptop lid closes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/880331/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
