Running a clean install of ubuntustudio 14.04 the suspend and resume works when using the power button or selecting it from the user menu but is not available in the xfce4-power-manager-settings. Only "Lock Screen" or "Nothing" is available for lid close action.
http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-power-manager/faq Suggests that it is likely permissions issue since suspend/resume clearly works.
My single user on a single user system has the following group memberships: username adm cdrom sudo audio dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
Any suggestions? I'd rather not fry my new hdd because I forgot to suspend and just close the lid.
Updates:
- Changing "/etc/systemd/logind.conf" settings have no effect.
- This appears to be a bug in upower https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1005234
- I've confirmed this is not an issue with my hardware on the standard ubuntu desktop (using a live drive)
- I've confirmed this is not an issue with xubuntu!?! (I had to enable suspend in the xfce4-power-manager-settings but it was an option)
- Changing kernel to linux-general has no affect.
- xfce4-power-manager --dump & sudo xfce4-power-mangager --dump
