How to kill listed inhibitors for proper working of suspend on Laptop lid close












1















I recently noticed that my laptop can't be suspended via closing its lid. Suspend when laptop lid is closed Switch is turned ON in settings.



I have the following settings set in the /etc/systemd/logind.conf file:



$ cat /etc/systemd/logind.conf


Output:



[Login]  
InhibitDelayMaxSec=5
HandleSuspendKey=suspend
HandleLidSwitch=suspend
HandleLidSwitchDocked=suspend


I tried to change HandleLidSwitch= to something else: poweroff, suspend, hibernate -- none of them work.



After doing some research on the internet, I figured out that 4 programs have taken over the lid-switch handling. It appears as a "handle-lid-switch" inhibitor in the list.



$ systemd-inhibit --list --mode=block


Output:



WHO        UID USER       PID  COMM           WHAT                              
root 0 root 8474 gsd-power handle-lid-switch
root 0 root 8520 gsd-media-keys handle-power-key:handle-suspend-ke
Debian-gdm 138 Debian-gdm 8162 gsd-power handle-lid-switch
Debian-gdm 138 Debian-gdm 8176 gsd-media-keys handle-power-key:handle-suspend-ke

4 inhibitors listed.


I tried to kill these processes but it results in a system crash because these are the system processes.
