[Bug 1574120] Re: Notebook doesn't suspend when lid is closed after update to 16.04

[Ryan C. Underwood]

Still happens on 16.10 on a HP Pavilion 15 (Skylake i5-6300HQ, Intel
530, Nvidia 950M).

HandleLidSwitchDocked=suspend and then reboot 'fixes' it.

However, it has the undesirable side effect of suspending when an
external monitor is attached to the HDMI port (driven by the NVidia
chip).

In the latter case, the system also fails to resume from suspend,
leaving only a black screen.  I'd be willing to believe that this
particular case is due to bugs in the nouveau driver.  But the system
should not be suspending when there is an external display attached in
any case - this appears to be systemd policy overriding GNOME policy.

Title:
  Notebook doesn't suspend when lid is closed after update to 16.04

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  My notebook does not suspend after upgrading from 15.10 to 16.04.

  According to system settings the notebook should suspend when lid is
  closed but actually this does not happen. Instead it continues to run
  as if nothing had happened.

  With the previous versions of ubuntu (14.04-15.10) everything worked
  fine.

  My System: HP Pavilion dv7.
