I have this exact same issue. If I turn off suspend on lid close in the Gnome Tweak Tool I have sometimes been able to close the lid without issues (as in, the laptop monitor turns off and the external one blinks black for a second, cursor still visible). Since a couple of days back, that stopped working as well (it worked for at least a few weeks before then). If I close my lid now, the laptop locks and my external monitor turns off. The only way to get out of the state is to open the lid, upon which I am presented by the login screen.
I am using my onboard Intel graphics (combined with bumblebee and the dedicated Nvidia card, but clearly Intel is the active one when this happens). Has there been any progress on this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1732474 Title: Closing lid with external monitor plugged in sends system to sleep To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1732474/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
