Ubuntu – Closing laptop lid suspends Lubuntu, since upgrade

13.10lubuntupower-management

I recently upgraded my Lubuntu from 13.04 to 13.10.

I have my xfce-power-manager set on the lock screen action on lid close, but closing the lid still suspends the laptop in 13.10.

How can I set it to lock the screen?

It's a confirmed bug.

This trick work for me (Lubuntu 13.10):

Set "HandleLidSwitch=ignore" in "/etc/systemd/logind.conf" and restart.

Ubuntu – Closing the lid isn’t toggeling standby anymore after update in Lubuntu. How to fix that

Right click on the battery icon on the taskbar.
Select 'Preferences' from the resulting menu (which should bring up the XFCE4 Power Manager Preferences).
Set the desired action to perform when the laptop lid is closed ('suspend' = 'standby' I think). Make sure you set the desired action for both 'On AC' and 'On Battery'.

NOTE: If you don't have a battery icon on the taskbar you can access the 'XFCE4 Power Manager Preferences' from Menu --> Preferences --> Power Manager

If you do not have a 'Power Manager' entry under the 'Preferences' menu, follow amjjawad's excellent advice from this thread over on ubuntuforums.org.

In a terminal type:

sudo leafpad /usr/share/applications/xfce4-power-manager-settings.desktop

Replace this line:

OnlyShowIn=XFCE;

With (add a # before the line):

#OnlyShowIn=XFCE;

Save the file and 'Power Manager' should now be in Menu --> Preferences.
