Laptop doesn't suspend when lid is closed 20 April 2020, 18:45:41 Hello everyone, I have been using artix for a few days now and I love it, except that I can't get my laptop to suspend when I close the lid. I have an 8gb swap, I am using runit, and the issue exists on xfce and on cinnamon. I can get it to suspend if I click suspend in the shutdown dialog, but I can't get it to do it manually. Is there a runit service I need to enable?

Re: Laptop doesn't suspend when lid is closed Reply #2 – 31 May 2020, 18:17:33 Hi I had *edited: a similar* problem for a few days, I solved it following these steps (I'm using OpenRC so hope it works for you):Install zen-kernelEdit /etc/UPower/UPower.conf, change IgnoreLid to true (I'm a bit puzzled between this conf file and the other provided by elogind, as seems like the functionality is overlapping)I did a lot of trial and error to find those two steps, after that suspension works properly, but there are no buttons to configurate the lid suspension in XFCE. I'm also having a small issue with the keyboard after leaving my laptop alone for a while, it becomes unresponsive for a few seconds... still looking for that one.
