[Bug 1286430] Re: Suspend option when lid closed "greyed out" in Power Settings
I added the workaround referenced by
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-
manager/+bug/1286430/comments/8 to the bug description at the top.
** Description changed:
+ Workaround
+ ==========
+
+ Based on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-
+ manager/+bug/1286430/comments/8.
+
+ 1. Install the dconf-editor command if necessary:
+
+ $ sudo apt-get install dconf-tools
+
+ 2. Run dconf-editor and select
+
+ "org > gnome > settings-daemon > plugins > power"
+
+ 3. Set "lid-close-ac-action" and "lid-close-battery-action" to
+ "suspend".
+
+ The "suspend" option will now be selected in the Power Settings. It's
+ still greyed out, so if you change it to e.g. "nothing" you have to use
+ dconf-editor again to change it back to "suspend".

If this is the incorrect package, please redirect.
In power options for "When the lid is closed" no option is given except
for "Do Nothing". "Suspend" is there, but unselectable. Suspend should
be a selectable option on laptop computers.
As expected, closing laptop lid merely locks the screen. However, since
"Suspend" cannot be selected, the option to suspend upon lid closing is
unavailable.
Expected: Suspend option selectable.
Happened: Suspend option not selectable.
