Using fully updated testing repo - starting 'recently' - I notice that lid close no longer sleeps my laptop.
Kde power is configured to sleep on lid close. If i click the menu and choose sleep manually - it sleeps fine - and subsequently wakes fine on lid-open.
I can confirm with this little shell loop (left running and then close lid and reopen) that acpi shows lid is indeed closed:
while [[ 1 == 1 ]]
do cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state sleep 1 done state: open state: open state: open state: open state: closed state: closed state: closed state: closed state: open state: open
So, it -seems- as if lid-event is not being passed along for some reason to the (kde) power management - or not being listened to.
I have not yet switched to systemd - and I'm not sure which process is responsible for such events.
It still happens with 3.5.4 kernel if that makes any difference.
It is a W520 lenovo laptop.
Anyone else notice similar - or can offer suggestions?
Thanks.
Does running acpi_listen and closing then reopening the lid gives an indication that the lid open/close is being seen - just to check if there is any switch failure? -- mike c
