lid closure behavior unpredictable

[Gerald Gilbert-Thorple]

in 20.04.01 LTS (release 20.04), suspend on lid closure works for a while, then one day stops working, with no error message in syslog. The event is not even registered. The problem seems to start when the system has been inactive for long enough so that the screen is blanked.

 systemd:
  Installed: 245.4-4ubuntu3.2
  Candidate: 245.4-4ubuntu3.2
  Version table:
 *** 245.4-4ubuntu3.2 500
        500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     245.4-4ubuntu3 500
        500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages

seems similar to bug #1840784, even though no error message is generated.

Using systemctl status systemd-logind, I see that lid events are no longer being detected.
This behavior persists even after restarting the service. This is *not* what is requested in logind.conf, where HandleLidSwitch=suspend and HandleLidSwitchDocked=suspend.

You need to provide some kind of logs to review.

sorry, you can withdraw this bug as I discovered it is a kernel bug, not systemd.
(I wanted to withdraw it earlier but did not know how to get back to this report.)
thanks
