[SOLVED] Laptop lid not suspending, XFCE4

Hello again,

I am almost sorted but the lid is not suspending, or in fact doing anything.

I have tried using the logind method and xfce4 but neither one is working, so I come asking for help.

I just ran xfce4-power-manager --no-daemon --debug

and got this output

xfce4-power-manager --no-daemon --debug

and this is the journal for the same period http://0x0.st/oJ1P.txt

I am no expert but this stands out to me

ACPI: button: The lid device is not compliant to SW_LID.

Is this something fixable or is it just something I live with?

If I click suspend it works, and the screensaver works and locks within the time settings, it is just the lid not working.

I'm not sure that's what you want?

If you boot the multi-user.target (to keep the DM and DE out of the equation) does the lid suspend the system?

#HandleLidSwitch=suspend

is supposed to be the default behavior.

Re: [SOLVED] Laptop lid not suspending, XFCE4

I changed the logind.conf and disabled lightdm and rebooted, before and after login, no suspend. I hope this is the correct test.

I have left the logind.conf enabled but still in xfce4 nothing on lid close.

I thank you for your help.

Re: [SOLVED] Laptop lid not suspending, XFCE4

If you set it to "ignore", restart logind (or reboot) and run "acpi_listen" from acpid (as root), is the LID event logged after closing/re-opening the device?
If logind doesn't want to play ball, you could maybe use acpid to handle the LID, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Acpid

I tried this and acpi_listen and journalctl -f register no input from the lid closing.

In addition I have updated to 5.19.13-arch1-1 today and this has solved the screen flashing but suspend now kills the keyboard, I have to login with a USB keyboard and then reboot.

Given all of this I am going to ignore the suspend option completely and just lock the screen and shut down.

Many thanks for your assistance.

Do you have a journal covering that?

I have got the keyboard working after a suspend by adding atkbd.reset i8042.nomux i8042.reset

I am not sure if all are needed but the combination has reliably worked for several tests. The lid still doesn't work but at least the keyboard is usable while testing it :-)

Re: [SOLVED] Laptop lid not suspending, XFCE4

What kind of notebook is this?
Have you googled for lid related issues w/ the particular model?
(Or checked the arch wiki?)

There should be a LID0 in that list.

I will do some research, the wiki gave no results for a Clevo laptop and lid issues

Thanks for your help.

Re: [SOLVED] Laptop lid not suspending, XFCE4

I am still poking about with this and just found an old thread about Redhat in 2009 Which lead to running this 

 while :; do echo -n "$(date) -- "; cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state ; sleep 1 ; done

and getting this

Fri Oct 21 12:43:57 CEST 2022 -- state:      open

Fri Oct 21 12:44:06 CEST 2022 -- state:      closed
Fri Oct 21 12:44:07 CEST 2022 -- state:      open
Fri Oct 21 12:44:08 CEST 2022 -- state:      open
Fri Oct 21 12:44:09 CEST 2022 -- state:      open

Which clearly shows the lid closing is seen by the system, but I am guessing in the wrong place.

Is this usable in any way?

Re: [SOLVED] Laptop lid not suspending, XFCE4

You could poll the lid and trigger an action based on that, even w/ a simple bash scripted daemon.
Did you restart logind after ignoring the lid there?
Did acpi_listen post any acpi events?

Yes I rebooted and tried again. Still nothing in acpi_listen.

I will have a go at the script and leave it alone.

Thanks again for your help.

Re: [SOLVED] Laptop lid not suspending, XFCE4

So this is now working, thank you.

lidcheck.sh

#!/bin/bash
while :; do
grep -q closed /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state
if [ $? = 0 ]
then
xfce4-session-logout --suspend
fi
sleep 5;
done
