Bug Description
Note: I'm flagging this as a bug in gnome-settings-
---
Up to and including Ubuntu 17.04, unity-settings-
Now that gnome-shell is the default environment, session management is handled by gnome-settings-
With unity-settings-
In Ubuntu 17.10, gnome-settings-
This is a regression in a useful (and I believe popular) functionality. It is common to want the laptop to suspend when unplugged but expecting it to remain running when plugged (I believe this is the default on MacOS and windows and both system can be configured to distinguish between on-AC and on-Battery).
The functionality can be restored with a bit of sweat with either hooks for acpid (or maybe a session script using the gnome framework to detect events and apply the correct policy, acpid-scripts run as root), but this is clearly not something the average user should have to tinker with.
At the *very least* release note should advertise this regression (as a new feature ?) but ideally provide a compatibility layer to restore this functionality.
