First of all, keep the tone friendly. We took over the power manager after it was unmaintained for 2 years. A lot of the infrastructure around it has changed and we're trying to keep/make it working. In one of the last few releases, Ubuntu introduced logind to handle these sort of things and xfpm carries patches for that. Anyway, it's very odd that the behavior seems mixed up. You could check the xfconf variables for the settings, if you've upgraded from previous versions you could also try to reset the channel via xfce4-settings-editor and then configure xfpm anew and see whether that fixes the issue. It might also help if you attach the settings xml file of xfce4-power-manager (from ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/..) > Is there some other way that any sequence of events resulting in a > simultaneous-closed-lid-and-unplugged-power-supply state will suspend the > laptop? That was the case under Ubuntu 10.10, IIRC. Ubuntu 10.10 was released about 4 years ago, the architecture around suspend has changed a lot since then (e.g. UPower doesn't support it anymore). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1014891 Title: Laptop doesn't suspend when power is unplugged while lid is closed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1014891/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
