Lid close action- logind and gnome 3.6

linux-howto

https://bbs.archlinux.org – As far as I know the logind.conf file does some basic handling of ACPI events. A DE like Gnome will handle ACPI events on its own. So using logind.conf with gnome might give conflicts. You should disable those options in logind.conf ( Normally when the line is in a comments it defaults to no ). When running a DE I put those lines in comment ( even when running a WM, acpid still seems to do a better job. )When it still doesn't work it's probably a problem with gnome power manager, can't help you with that Varg https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=38844 2012-12- (HowTos)

Stories similar to Lid close action- logind and gnome 3.6

Hi there!To my knowledge, those options were removed from gnome-settings, and from gnome-tweak-tool as well, because Gnome 3.8 no longer handles lid close behaviour. As far as I am aware of, you can work around this issue by modifying your logind.conf (/etc/systemd/logind.conf) to your needs instead. See comments 51 and 52 here.

Did you disable it in /etc/systemd/logind.conf?  See man 5 logind.conf

systemd versus acpid 35 weeks 21 hours ago

I notice that even when acpid is working properly the event is passed to logind (according to journalctl -f).David Batson wrote:Maybe: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … arly_start ? I'll give that a try.

Thanks for your time, Wonderwoofy & brain0. Ultimately I think I was confused and misled by the news item's title using the name 'logind' instead of 'systemd-logind' or just 'systemd'. I thought I was dealing with something that was distinct from, yet somewhat dependent on, systemd.

Solved. Upgraded to testing kernel (3.7) Works now.For sleep, there is a workaround to disable it in logind. In /etc/systemd/logind.conf there is a line #HandleLidSwitch=suspendI changed it to HandleLidSwitch=ignore with help of people on IRC channel.

I'm using lxdm with xfce. One System uses .xinitrc and create an logind session then working. Two other Systems doesn't and without an logind session I hasn't permission to suspend or mount devices. But I don't find the reason for this.

Trying to install Gnome 3 1 year 43 weeks ago

It's a problem with Wicd, normally you can force update wicd and after that install gnome as you would normally do.pacman -Syy pacman -Sf wicd

Gnome crashes after update 27 weeks 2 days ago

Did you read the News, particularly the october 30th 2012 one about gnome 3.6 upgrade? and the many threads about gnome 3.6 and systemd?And it is better to use code tags rather than quote tags for long log files for an easy scrolling.You need to use systemd-logind.service with gnome 3.6.

PowerButton on Thinkpad T400 30 weeks 4 days ago

That is interesting indeed.  Are you a systemd user, or still sticking with sysv for now?  Handling the power button is actually the default I believe., but maybe it would be worth checking?  The relevent info is found in the logind.conf man page.
