gnome-power-manager does not suspend on laptop lid close

[fatejudger]

Gnome-power-manager refuses to suspend when my laptop lid is closed, despite the fact that I specifically set the settings to do so. When probing the lid close event status over ssh, I can see that the event is in fact being registered, but nothing is done about it. To add further complexity to the matter, it seems as though this problem extends to the power button as well. Let me know if I need to procure any additional info regarding the problem.

I confirm it's also happening to me, but I suspect it might not be, or not entirely, gnome-power-manager's mistake. I updated hal to 0.5.9 on a Feisty laptop and noticed the same bug: closing the lid would not suspend unless you re-open and re-close lid. Downgrading to hal 0.5.8 did the trick.

Maybe gnome-power-manager needs to adjust its functioning with newest hal, or maybe I'm wrong & gnome-power-manager is the only guilty part :)

see also hal bug #114595 and #114507 ...

I looked up both of the posted bugs, and they seem to be in reference to HAL version 0.5.9. I checked Synaptic to verify whether I was using this package or not, and it seems as though I'm still using version 0.5.8, the version that supposedly works. I'm at a total loss at this point and may try to reinstall Feisty. I'll post more updates as they come along.

Hi guys
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you?, Can you please try with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron?

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, I no longer own the laptop in question, so I'm unable to test it.

Hi there
I'm closing this report since there's no way to track down the issue without the testing environment, if you ever experience this issue again or someone can provide an test environment similar to the one affected please re-open this bug report changing the status to "New" or file a new bug report. Thanks again for taking the time to report this bug and help to make Ubuntu better, don't hesitate to report any future bugs you might find.

Thanks again

Still getting this issue on my ASUS F3Ja with Ubuntu 8.10
LID ACPI envents are triggered and processed by acpid (I've added test line to lid.sh script) but gnome-power-statistics doesn't show any LID events on the graph.

Also and I'm think this is linked to I'm getting 'Screen lock on AC unplug' issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/77264

Thanks.
