I'm attaching a proof of concept python script that restores the behaviour (in case it's useful to others).
The script should be launched as: systemd-inhibit --who=me --why=because --mode=block --what=handle-lid-switch /path/to/custom_suspend.py from the session startup (gnome-session-properties) This is public domain and only lightly tested. It relies on existing gnome/systemd commands to perform the underlying action ** Attachment added: "custom_suspend.py" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1722286/+attachment/4970889/+files/custom_suspend.py -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722286 Title: Same action is forced for lid-close on AC and lid-close on battery To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1722286/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
