I have an HP 6710b that I have installed Gusty Gibbon on and it all works fine until I close the lid and walk away.

When I come back the screen is on as I left it but the system has frozen. This only happens when I leave the lid down and after about 10-20 mins. If I close the lid for a short time it doesn't crash.

Removing acpid seems to stop it from crashing. To do so I also have to uninstall these dependents: acpi-support, powermanagement-interface, ubuntu-desktop

Kernel modules battery and button have to be loaded manually after there packages are uninstalled. They have no effect on it crashing or not. The bug must therefore be in acpid . Tried deleting /etc/acpi/lid.sh and commenting out /etc/acpi/events/lidbtn with no effect.

There are no relevant entries in /var/log/messages or syslog.

/proc/acpi/button/lid/C153/state works correctly showing when the lid is open/closed.
