KDE: Laptop only sleeps when closing lid every other time

Hello all,

I'm running KDE 4.14.1 on an older Toshiba Satellite laptop. In the KDE System Settings, I've told it to sleep when closing the lid and this works - but strangely only every other time I close the lid. It will work once, then I open the lid and it powers up just fine. Then I close it again and the screen just turns off but the laptop stays fully powered.

Any ideas what might be going on? It consistently only sleeps every other time when I close the lid (the other times it just turns the screen off).

Take a look at /etc/systemd/logind.conf
Is systemd also trying to manage this?
