Asunto: Re: [DNG] Beowulf to Chimaera update breaks suspend on laptop
afaik on chimaera xfce4 relies on elogind for handling "suspend on lid
close", and this is something you may disable by a slight edit of
/etc/elogind/logind.conf, to have the three assignments:
HandleLidSwitch=ignore
HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=ignore
HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore

Hopefully that will let your previous suspend solution work.

Ralph.

Unfortunately on my system, while it suspends most times, it comes back about 1 in 10 and then usually the nvme is broken and it dies in a ball of flames. I spent the best part of a day experimenting with the in-kernel suspend mechanisms and I can't seem to make it work, while the trusty old uswsusp userspace suspend/resume works first time every time.
