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".

  In power options for "When the lid is closed" no option is given except

Title:
  Suspend option when lid closed "greyed out" in Power Settings

Status in gnome-power-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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".
