Laptop does not goto suspend or hibernate when lid is closed

[Hameed محمد حمید]

I have a DELL inspiron 8600; when the laptop lid is closed the system neiter suspends nor hibernates.

Thank you for your bug report. Which version of Ubuntu are you using?

[Hameed محمد حمید (hameeduddin)]

I'm using Dapper Beta2. Thanks for the quick response.

If you click on "systems" in the top panel, then preference and finally power management, you will get to the "power management preferences" window. In there you can select what you laptop should do when the lid is closed (both when running on AC, or when running on battery). By default these 2 options are set to "blank screen" when closing the lid. Have you tried to change these options to the option you want (either hibernate or suspend)?

I have this same problem with MSI S250. Also using Dapper Beta.

The laptop hibernates the first time lid is closed after the machine has been restarted, but after that there is no action whatsoever. Even dmesg doesn't show anything.

This is the dmesg notifying about the first lid close and resume events. After this no matter how many times I close the lid there are no more messages:

This is a new bug since my machine was working great a week ago. This has happened after the bug 35213 (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/35213) got fixed.

I also think that this is related to the fact that my usb mouse stops working after hibernation.

Mikko, please file a new bug for your problem since it is far from being clear that this is the same problem than this one. (for one thing, it is a totally different hardware).

[Mikko Saarinen (mikk0)]

Thank you for the suggestion, I filed a bug 43391.

I don't see a "power management preferences" under system -> preferences.
I had done a dist-upgrade from breezy.

I would guess that when you did your dist-upgrade, you didn't have the meta-package ubuntu-desktop installed, right?
You can check this by running these 2 commands from a terminal:
 apt-cache policy gnome-power-manager
 apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop

To get that power-management preference window I described earlier, you will need to install gnome-power-manager (and possibly reboot your computer afterward).

[Hameed محمد حمید (hameeduddin)]

Thanks. Yes, i didn't have ubuntu-desktop installed earlier. After installing 'gnome-power-manager' i was able to get the laptop into suspend/hibernate mode when the lid is closed. However on opening the lid the the laptop starts up but i get a blank screen. In short my laptop does not resume from suspend/hibernate. Do i have to open another bug for this.

Thanks.

That looks like bug 42490. If that's the case, we can close this report, and you can subscribe to the other one.
