[Bug 792636] Re: Power section no longer allows configuration of "when the lid is closed" action in Oneiric

 

Tom: Thanks for the link... that's an interesting read, and
unfortunately, they lost me completely at the statement :"The other
reason not to include this setting is, of course, that it is another
setting and, as we all know, settings kill kittens."

This is NOT "Another" setting, it's an "existing" setting.  It did not
ADD to the pool of existing settings, it was already there to begin
with.

And from reading the comments I can see that I am not in the minority in
having issue with removing this functionality.

Title:
  Power section no longer allows configuration of "when the lid is
  closed" action in Oneiric

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  In Natty I was able to configure what happens when the laptop lid was
  closed. Now that option doesn't exist in the power settings.

  I tried to set the following gconf options to "nothing", but they had no immediate effect:
  /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/lid_battery
  /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/lid_ac

  It would be helpful to know a temporary workaround as I close my
  laptop all the time but I never suspend/hibernate it.
