![]() 'INFO: This will not work for 12.04, resume from hibernate work differently in 12.04.' Pull up a Terminal again and run cat /proc/swaps and hopefully you see the path to your swap partition listed there. None of the solutions worked for me, but the solution provided by ubuntu faqs worked for me. Hope it helps in the newer versions also. ![]() Then, browse to apps->gnome-power-manager->buttons and change the values of lid_ac and lid_battery manually To do this manually, open the gconf-editor by hiting alt+F2 and then enter gconf-editor. Sudo gconftool-2 -t string /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/lid_battery -s "nothing" To automatically set the values from blank to nothing, i did this in terminal: sudo gconftool-2 -t string /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/lid_ac -s "nothing" And when i open the lid, i see the normal display again:) With "nothing", both audio and video files continues to play even with the lid closed. this will cause the system to suspend and then i have to again wake it up to get a display. If i now open the lid, i only get a blank screen and the only way out was to press the power button. With "blank" if I close the lid, video playback stopped (No audio of the video playback in mplayer while the lid was closed), however pure audio playback still continued (e.g. There is some difference with the two options though. With me, changing the value from "blank" to "nothing" in the lid close options solved the issue. ![]() I had the same issue even in Ubuntu 10.04, but, To do this, open up Terminal, then type in 'sudo nautilus' (without quotes) and the navigate to etc, acpi, then right-click on lidswitch.sh, navigate to Properties, then Permissions, then Allow executing file as program, then click Close. (2) Use nautilus to apply the "chmod +x" property to the file. So open up Terminal, then type in 'sudo gedit' (without quotes) and copy and paste the lines above. # /etc/acpi/lidswitch.sh for further processing. # This is called when the lid is closed or opened and calls Then put these lines in /etc/acpi/events/lidswitch (lidswitch not being a folder, but a file without a file extension): # /etc/acpi/events/lidswitch LCD_STATE="/proc/acpi/video/VID1/LCD/state" LID_STATE="/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state" # Re-activates the screen when the lid is opened again It requires the ACPI VIDEO module loaded.Ĭreate the file /etc/acpi/lidswitch.sh with these lines (don't forget to chmod +x on it): #!/bin/sh There is a post from devilkin that solved my problem, here is the solution: Under any circumstances, there seems to be no timeframe for fixing the bugs that are shown to exist.Īny suggestions will be greatly appreciated. My laptop has an on-board intel video driver. There seem to be some bug fixes shown for this problem, but they specify non-intel graphics cards. To avoid this problem (which often results in lost data if the lid is accidently closed before a program save) I have to stay with 11.04 even though it is now no longer supported. I have turned off all power saving options, disabled standby, and selected do nothing when the lid is closed. Hitting the esc key or left mouse button causes the screen to flash on for a fraction of a second and I can see a working display when this happens, but I can't keep it on with any keystroke combination I have tried. The only way I can get out of the problem is a hard restart. Beginning with 11.10 through 12.10, every version of Ubuntu causes the screen to stay blank after I open the lid. NOTE: If you have no password set, locking won’t work no matter what you do.I have an Acer Aspire One KAV60. Set idle time to 1 minute and 5 seconds.Set it to “Turn off the monitor(s)” when idle.In the “Idle” section in lxqt-powermanagement:.check the box to lock the screen after 0 minutes.cycle after 0 minutes (probably unnecessary but it doesn’t hurt).If you can actually disable the monitor between the blanking and the screensaver starting, you’ll be set. You were on the right track, actually, but had too big of a time gap. Because of this, I have made an upstream feature request. ![]() It can “blank the screen” but all that means is that it basically rewrites the screen with blackness before starting the screensaver or just staying that way if it’s set to blank only.Īdditionally sucky is that lxqt-powermanagement can handle both locking and disabling the screen, but it cannot accomodate multiple actions. The thing that sucks here is that while xscreensaver has some power management features (none of which are actually enabled by default), disabling the screen is not one of them. ![]()
