[SOLVED] How do I: *NOT* wake on lid open

starch · 2012-08-11 01:52:52

Hi,

Happily running arch on my Thinkpad x220 with "tlp" power manager from the AUR and acpid (*not* laptop-mode-tools.)

When I sleep the system, it will wake upon lid open.
I would like to know if I can disable this function and wake on power button only.

I would be fine with either ignoring the ACPI message or disabling the LID sensor entirely.

Thanks in advance,
Starch

Edit the ACPI handler script.

In case you also want to disable it when closing the lid, you could use keybindings to trigger suspend and remove acpid. On my thinkpad x220i do not have acpid installed.

Thanks. I did edit the script by removing the lines relating to LID.
However, the problem continues - still waking upon lid open.
Here's a link to my /etc/acpi/handler.sh if anyone has some input.

I have done this before, can't remember how exactly, but it involves something in sys or proc... there is a file that lists all the possible ways your computer can be woken (ie. via usb 1 2 3 p/s1 etc.) and to change it you simply echo the given input into the file and it will toggle. Let me see if I can figure it out for you real quick.

Edit: see here, I remembered I was trying to get my old macbook to make from keyboard (which I never figured out), but maybe it will work for you.

Mine is labeled as LID0 in /proc/acpi/wakeup

I think it's best to leave the entry in, but replace the action like this instead:

 logger "ACPI action undefined: $2"
                ;;

Then restart acpid or your system.

I just commented out everything that I didn't like, then added my own. I think the logger stuff is useful for debugging though. Personally I just stopped using acpid as slowly most of the functions were being handled by other stuff I began using. Until the other day when I installed systemd and then I realized there was no reason to be starting that daemon. Fortunately the 'acpi' command still works a-okay, because I use it to poll for battery in dwm.

This post helped with me fix a problem I have been having with my laptop where it would run down the battery when powered off - the ethernet and usb were using power waiting for wake events even though both were disabled in the bios. So thanks WonderWoofy!

Yeah, no problem, just don't forget to mark the thread as solved.

WonderWoofy,
Thanks! Perfect.
Just to clarify so it's in the thread -

# echo LID > /proc/acpi/wakeup

Or whatever your LID happens to be.
I added that to my /etc/rc.local to run on boot.

Best
Starch

I have opposite problem: I want to make my laptop resume from S3 on lid open, but there is no LID record in "/proc/acpi/wakeup"!!!
It will wake up in Windows (with special vendor-software only, so the LID SENSOR actually exists?), but not in Linux

What can I do?
