GNOME: Mon PC refuse toujours de se mettre en veille lorsque je rabats l'écran, et ça fait plus de 10 ans que ça dure !
Summary
A French-language blog post details a long-standing GNOME power-management issue: a laptop running Ubuntu with GNOME fails to suspend when the lid is closed if an external monitor is connected. The author traces the problem to the removal of the lid-close-suspend-with-external-monitor option in GNOME Settings Daemon, describes historical workarounds and the shift of logic to logind and UPower, and outlines several attempted approaches (removing inhibitors, a new daemon, upstream fixes). The piece also promotes a temporary Python daemon solution and discusses ongoing efforts to push a proper upstream fix, with links to related tickets and releases.
