My laptop is a Toshiba u300-13u and it is set up to suspend when the lid is closed (in Gnome). When I close the lid, it suspends, most times. Sometimes it doesn't. I usually fix it by opening the lid and closing again.
Hello, any news? Any way for me to help with debugging? Pavel
The same applies to a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Mini, both with updated Fedora 15.
Ah... I've probably found something: $ cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state state: closed Of course I'm typing this into an open terminal, so the lid cannot be closed! Reproducable: almost always Steps to reproduce: 1) cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state If it states 'closed', you're hitting the bug! 2) close the lid and see that computer doesn't suspend 3) optionally test cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state with SSH It returns 'closed', now correctly. 4) open the lid 5) cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state It returns 'open' (correct) 6) close the lid This is the first time you actually see a transition from 'open' to 'closed'. Computer suspends. This is the (correct) behavior except that it should happen just after the first closing.
This bug report tends to become too confusing. Opening a new, clean bugreport with a precise chain of steps to reproduce that is reproducible ALWAYS: Bug 718365
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
