Recently I installed Ubuntu 17.10 on my ThinkPad T530.But I have a problem (and I know how much ThinkPad hardware is supported on the linux world).So If I close the lid,the thing won't get on sleep mode.I'm worried because it might be a hardware problem.So my questions are:

1.Did somebody tested Ubuntu on a T530/T430 and does the auto sleep when close the lid?

2.How can I fix it? I already tried to change /etc/systemd/logind.conf

Any help is appreciated Thanks

  • Use dconf-editor to check /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/.. lid-close-ac-action and lid-close-battery-action. These should both be suspend by default, but you never know. – chaskes Nov 10 '17 at 20:53

Use dconf-editor to change the settings:

/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/lid-close-ac-action
/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/lid-close-battery-action

to 'suspend' (Note: the single quotes are required in the setting.)

In a default Ubuntu install, these would be set to 'suspend' by default, but the vanilla desktop does not apparently do that.
