You are right. We need to understand how the systemd inhibit mechanism works and why it is not applied system-wide.
I suggest that we use the current Xubuntu development release (vivid) as base for further testing: - The power manager is now able to detect and configure light-locker. Therefore, the logind-handle-lid-switch property can be changed on-the-fly. - The new version of light-locker (1.5.x) can be controlled with additional DBus calls, so it should be possible to find a solution which does not trigger the unwanted "xflock4 -> light-locker-command > VT switch > suspend" chain. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1307545 Title: Power Manager settings are ignored when closing laptop lid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1307545/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
