Comment 143 for bug 44058

I have this problem as well: suspend does not work when closing laptop lid, but does work when manually selected.

I am running Ubuntu 10.10, on an HP/Compaq nc6220.

I'd like to second comment #137, this bug is an important safety issue -- laptops can easily overheat if they are not properly suspended and mistakenly put into an cushioned/insulating carrying bag.

Major, major bragging points to the developer that is able to fix this issue!
