Bug Description
Workaround
==========
Based on https:/
1. Install the dconf-editor command if necessary:
$ sudo apt-get install dconf-tools
2. Run dconf-editor and select
"org > gnome > settings-daemon > plugins > power"
3. Set "lid-close-

If this is the incorrect package, please redirect.
In power options for "When the lid is closed" no option is given except for "Do Nothing". "Suspend" is there, but unselectable. Suspend should be a selectable option on laptop computers.
As expected, closing laptop lid merely locks the screen. However, since "Suspend" cannot be selected, the option to suspend upon lid closing is unavailable.
Expected: Suspend option selectable.
Happened: Suspend option not selectable.
