Hi All,
Fedora 35
Xfce 4.16
I have a customer with a shiny new System 76 laptop.
How do I configure it to shutdown or suspend when
he closes the lid?
My experience is that if it doesn't work out of the box, it will
never work.
In Settings > Power Manager, the "System" tab: if it has a "Laptop
Lid" with a "When laptop lid is closed" option, you have even odds
that it'll actually work as advertised.
There's no shutdown option, but there are "Switch off display",
"Suspend", "Hibernate", and "Lock Screen". Some or all of the above
may work, on a given laptop.
Settings > Power Manager, the "System" tab: if it has a "Laptop Lid"
does not appear in Xfce's settings. Are you sure you were looking at
Xfce?
Yes, the "Help" button takes me to
https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-power-manager/4.16/start
So, that answers that. A laptop lid sensor is not detected on this
hardware.
It did under the original ubooboo installation. So
it is the installation configuration of Xfce that misses
it.
"Supposedly", the following switch fixes the original mistake:
xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p
/xfce4-power-manager/logind-handle-lid-switch -s false
I will give it a try next week when I see the customer again.
