Hi there,
TLDR: laptop not sleeping/hard crashing if I close the lid while a menu is open
Long version:
My Ubuntu Mate 1.8.2 laptop is set to logout and sleep whenever I close the lid. Oftentimes, I close it right after checking my battery status in the top bar (and as you know clicking in the battery icon causes the menu to roll down). I sometimes don’t bother to click away to close the menu and just shut the lid.
Now, this sometimes causes the system to not go to sleep mode (a status light on the outside of the Lenovo, and sound, indicate so). It is also a security problem, because upon opening the uses is still logged in. Sometimes even this doesn’t happen, but it stops responding to all mouse or keyboard/button inputs.
The computer is updated regularly (short of upgrading to the new Mate, which I think has come out).
Have you noticed a similar problem? Thanks!
