[Bug 44058] Re: suspend when closing laptop lid doesn't work

Wed Jun 23 19:45:11 UTC 2010

Asus eeePC 900,  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
Linux 2.6.32-23-generic-pae #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 09:26:55 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
This started happening after the standard update from last week or so.  I ran the pending updates about two days ago and the netbook doesn't suspend on lid closed any more.

Don't treat this bug lightly please. People are used to closing their
laptops and putting them in briefcases or such (without airflow)
trusting the suspend mechanism to work correctly. Yesterday as I removed
my netbook from my bag, it was almost burning me, the plastic was
smelling from heat, and it wouldn't turn on. Today again I'm typing this
on hot keyboard. This model has good thermal lockdown, but in other
cases you can lead to hardware damage or fire.
