How to suspend with lid open?

cemsbr · 2017-03-14 13:17:43

If I close the lid, the laptop suspends normally. If I run "systemctl suspend" with lid open, it suspends and wakes up immediately. I pasted several lines right before and after waking up below.

Hey Cemsbr,

This can be achieved by running

systemctl suspend

@Jeroen)Mathon - Did you actually read the OP?

The exact laptop model and type would help to investigate this issue.

You can try

HandleLidSwitch=ignore

in /etc/systemd/logind.conf. Also, do you have acpid installed? Try disabling it.
Also systemctl has an " --ignore-inhibitors" option.

I tried ignoring HandleLidSwitch and then running "systemctl --ignore-inhibitors suspend" and got same results.

Did you restart systemd-logind?

Just did that (and kicked off from my X session ), but got same results. I also disconnected all USB and ethernet cablea before suspending.

Sorry for that, yes it kills your session..
I have no further solutions, but, you could try to get it working with acpid

cemsbr · 2017-03-14 23:37:13

I forgot to answer @nokangaroo that I didn't install acpid. I was wondering what actually happens when the lid is closed so I can do the same with the lid open.

When lid is closed, systemd suspends your system, (provided "HandleLidSwitch=suspend" is set in logind or the option is commentedout to default value). As long as lid remain closed your laptop keeps suspending in case it is wakeup by some event.
