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. gene/
