I have a Macbook pro running Ubuntu 18.04 with GNOME 3. I use my laptop in 2 setups:
- Closed lid with a monitor
- Open lid with no monitor
I've been noticing that when I pull my laptop out of my bag, it's very hot and the Apple logo is lit. Here is how I usually suspend my laptop.
Setup 1:
- I click the battery/audio/wifi icon
- I press Alt so that the Power icon turns into a Pause icon
- I hit the Pause icon
- I watch the Apple logo on the back of my laptop turn off, then turn on again, then turn off.
- I unplug and put away my laptop.
NOTE: If I do not unplug my laptop from the monitor, the monitor goes black briefly, then I see the login screen!
Setup 2:
- I click the battery/audio/wifi icon
- I press Alt so that the Power icon turns into a Pause icon
- I hit the Pause icon
- I close the lid
- I watch the Apple logo on the back of my laptop turn off, then turn on again, then turn off I put away my laptop
- List item
Why won't my Macbook pro go to sleep? I do not want to shut down every time I go out.
