Hello!
I have Fedora 17 x86_64 installed on my Samsung N145Plus netbook.
Sometimes when I close the lid the machine keep on running instead of
suspend. I need to open and close the lid again to suspend. Any idea
why? Any solution?
I've noticed the same problem on my eeepc (32-bit). I can't even find
an option in screensaver or power settings screens to enable standby
on lid close, like there was on previous versions. is there some
application that needs to be installed for that, or has it just
gone AWOL??
I mam not sure what you mean by standby but gnome-tweak-tool (called
Advanced Setting)) on the application list controls what happens when
the lid is closed.
in my post above standby == suspend. sorry.
I don't know about the OP, but I'm running F17 with MATE. but I've
also looked in gnome desktop as well as xfce, and I can't find any
setting for that. certainly there are menus for when on AC power and
also for when on battery, but none that I've found offer suspendn as
an option. :(
ah, I see gnome tweak tool available in "add/remove software". If it
provides important functinality like configuring power management for
laptops, I'd sorta think it would be installed by default. I always
"just had it" in previous installs on this machine, so I wasn't expecting
to have to install something in addition.
Installed now. thanks for the pointer!
In XFCE, if you right-click on the battery monitor and go to
"Preferences", you can select "Suspend" for lid close for all the
profiles. I have it set to "Suspend" for my "On Battery" profile and
"Lock Screen" for the "On AC" profile.
The usual caveat of "It works for me" applies here.
