I can confirm this, I started seeing this behavior about 2 months ago. But in my case, it sometimes work, and sometimes doesn't whereas it used to work flawlessly before. --Héctor Acosta On Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 10:13 AM, mike cloaked wrote:

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?

Seems other events have stopped being processed as well - e.g. unplugging a/c and going to battery - laptop beeps - but screen no longer dims - Again - I can dim screen by hand by doing something like this: echo '11' > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness This has been flaky a while but usually worked at least some of the time - now its just not working period. I wonder if udev responsible for this? Looks like I upgraded systemd at the end of last month to 189-4 ... seems unlikely it took me till last weekend to notice this .. but I can be slow at times :-) kde had a bunch of updates sep 4 (4.9.0 to 4.9.1).. again a week or so back If anyone has suggestions how to get these working again would be appreciated .. not fatal as I can do everything by hand but since things used to work be ncie to get them working again. gene

Any chance you may have a setting that could be changed in the KDE power management settings window to get this working again? -- mike c
