Comment 7 for bug 44567

I seem to have this same bug. I'm on an HP Pavilion dv1111AV. acpi_listen shows that acpi is getting the events. However, gnome-power-manager --verbose does not show gnome-power-manager handling the events.

Ugly as it is, I've worked around the problem by including commenting out the CheckPolicy line of the lid and including the following, which simulates the settings I tried to set up with gnome-power-manager.

#if [ `CheckPolicy` = 0 ]; then exit; fi

grep -q closed /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state
if [ $? = 0 ]
then
    echo "lid closed"
    grep -q off-line /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/*/state
    if [ $? = 0 ]
    then
        echo "sleep with gnome-power-cmd"
        su tom
        gnome-power-cmd.sh suspend

Yeah, that's ugly.

Let me know if I can give you some more output to help with this.
