How to run something when laptop lid is closed?

Hi,
I'm running Arch on my EEEpc 1000h. I'd like to run certain commands when I close the lid. Can this be done?
Thanks in advance.

Check the aur for acpi-eee and acpi-eeepc-generic. Install one of them and configure it to do a specific task when the lid is closed.

10.4.9 dies when laptop lid is closed

I installed 10.4.9 on my 17" MacBookPro a while ago. The OS runs fine with my applications, but I've found that the OS often crashes when I close the lid. It doesn't happen all the time, but it's starting to become an annoyance. The light is on and the laptop is hot, so the computer is on, but the OS is dead. I've been dealing with it by opening the battery compartment so that the computer shuts off and then restarting. After booting up, the OS tells me that it had crashed. Has anyone seen this phenomenon, and if so, is there some sort of workaround?

It seems strange, but I tried it again and this is exactly what happens when I start Disk Utility from the DVD. The lefthand window of Disk Utility shows two disks: my 100G hard drive and the 2.6G DVD. I was also surprised to see the second-level disc description (under 93.2 GB FUJITSU...) show two items: something called "disk0s1" and "Macintosh HD". The first item is shown having partition type EFI and 200G capacity, but no availability. The second item is the Macintosh HD as it should be: capacity 92.8 GB, of which 27.3 GB is currently used. However, when I select that item, I am only allowed to verify and repair disk permissions. The "Verify Disk" and "Repair Disk" buttons are grayed.

SQL Developer 1.5.1 on XP: Abruptly aborts when laptop lid is closed

I have SQLD 1.5.1 (latest version available for download, build 5440) on Windows XP (on a Lenovo laptop T60). When I am headed to say a meeting for example, and close the lid of the laptop so it goes to sleep/hibernate and then come back and open the lid, this new version seems to just disappear i.e. the application has closed, loosing all open editors etc.
Has anyone noticed this?
Thanks,

Unfortunately for your 8i DBs, there is a note in the [release notes|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/files/relnotes_v151.html] that says:
The JDBC drivers shipped are 11g R1. This means that users will no longer be able to connect to an Oracle 8.1.7 database.

Internet Connection off when Laptop Lid Closes

Hi. I just bought my first Mac. A macbook pro. I like to leave my AIM or Ichat on but would like to close the lid to my laptop. Everytime I do, it logs me off. I think this is because of the sleep function. Is there a way to configure so that it doesnt lose my internet everytime???

nope, it is a physical hardware switch that disables the internet when the lid is closed. the only way to disable it is to use your computer in clamshell mode, which means you need an exteral moniter, keyboard, and mouse

System always auto-suspends when the lid is closed

Hello,
I am trying to prevent my laptop (a System76 Lemur Ultra 3) from suspending when the lid is closed. No matter what I change in the configuration, the laptop always suspends when the lid is closed. The output of journalctl is as follows after this happens:

The first thing I did was to disable systemd's acpi features by setting /etc/systemd/logind.conf as follows:
# This file is part of systemd.

# under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by

#PowerKeyIgnoreInhibited=no

IdleActionSec=45min
However, the behavior was the same as before. I also tried setting
LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=no
but after reading man 5 logind.conf it seems that this is unnecessary (and it had no effect when I tried it).
acpid is also installed but I have commented out the contents of /etc/acpi/handler.sh as well as all the scripts in /etc/acpi/actions. I noticed that there is also a UPower daemon which was installed as a dependency and thought that it might be triggering the suspend. I tried setting
IgnoreLid=true
in /etc/UPower/UPower.conf but this also had no effect.

Any ideas on what might be causing the system to suspend when the lid is closed would be appreciated.

Since you made the complete switch to systemd, why not let systemd handle this kind of events?
I was referring to the suggestion of setting acpi=off on the kernel line. systemd can only run a few preset actions on events like lid close (e.g. suspend, poweroff, ignore, etc.). I need to run custom scripts. Also, for some reason I still do not fully understand, it was not working properly. The log in my original post seems to show that it was initiating the suspend.

progandy wrote:Yes, it is easier, but my laptop should react differently depending on the power source. With AC power lid-switch locks the screen, in battery mode it suspends. That is impossible with systemd.
Yes you need something like laptop-mode-tools for that, I know systemd will not do that, for now.
But that is not the issue here!, the issue here is that the llid-switch-button' shouldn't be used at all.
For as far as possible I would still recommend systemd to handle your events!, but it's your decision finally!
You need acpid for that not laptop-mode-tools. This is exactly what apcid is for --- running user scripts on ACPI events.
Anyway, I finally have this fixed though I still have no idea what the problem was. I ran out of ideas on how to fix it and #archlinux didn't know either so I went the painful but sure route. I did full reinstall and reinstalled all programs. logind was still behaving as this point (not ignoring it's logind.conf file as it seemed to be before the reinstall) after this so I concluded that the packages installed were not the problem at least with their default configs. After that, I gradually restored the config files I cared about while testing to see if logind still worked correctly. Contrary, to what I expected it never broke and I was able to restore all modified configs and get correct behavior.
I suspect there was some old out of date config file somewhere that was causing the problem but it's hard to say which one it was. I could probably figure it out with a bit more experimentation but have already spent enough time fixing this...
In case anyone else needs a similar configuration, the relevant files are as follows. This sets up the system to lock whenever systemd executes a suspend action. It also sets up acpid to suspend on lid close.
Make sure you have installed acpid and enabled it to run at startup.

After 10.8.2 update i can no longer wake my macbook from standby with keyboard when the lid is closed

I just updated to 10.8.2 and now i can no longer wake my macbook froom standby when the lid is closed, it directly goes back to sleep
steps to reproduce:
1. attach secondary monitor and keyboard
2. close lid
3. wait 5 seconds for going to standby
4. press any key on keyboard and type in user-credentials (notice how the 2nd monitor becomes the mainscreen)
5. wait 5 seconds
6. standby again
side note:
i also have sudo nvram boot-args="iog=0x0" enabled, because i like to not use the integrated screen when its attached to a secondary screen, but since it goes back to standby right after login this is pretty much pointless

Same here, I think changed something in 10.8.2 that wrecked the "Open-MBP Clamshell Mode." sigh

[SOLVED]Gnome 3.4 is not suspending when the lid is closed.

Hey..
Since upgrading to gnome 3.4.1, my laptop does not suspend when the lid is closed.
I have read this this thread without getting a clear answer...
I have checked the setting in gnome tweak tool, and they are both set to "Suspend"
The laptop has no problem suspending, if i run the command, or choose the option in the menu to the right.
Is this a bug ?
What can i do to fix it. ?

See this thread for updates on the problem.

T420 - delete key gets pressed when screen/lid is closed

Anyone run into this?
I work at a large company and so far we have recieved a bunch of laptops where the delete key gets pressed if the lid is closed.
I have tried replacing the KB but issue persists.
Upon closer investigation, the DEL key does seem a bit raised when compared to other keys on the KB.

Strange, the DEL key is level for me.
Have you updated your BIOS and drivers? I believe there was a change made where the keyboard will be deactivated when the lid is closed.
Problem: On the listed ThinkPad systems, the delete key might be pressed and activated when the LCD is closed and the system is held tightly when carried..
Affected Systems: ThinkPad T420, T420i, T420s, T520, W520, X220, X220t.
Solution: Please update the BIOS to the version listed below, or newer. The BIOS can be downloaded from:
T420/T420 (ver. 1.33): http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-77071 .
T420s/T420si (ver. 1.29): http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-77010
T520/T520i (ver. 1.32): http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-77001
W520 (ver. 1.30): http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-77033
X220/X220i/X220T (ver. 1.22) http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-77150:
As noted previsouly in another post, if the wireless antenna wires are not routed neatly underneath, the keyboard will stick up just enough for the screen to press on those keys.

Powerbook does not sleep when the lid is closed

my tibook does not go to sleep when i close the lid. the screen stays on when the lid is closed. the screen was replaced a few months ago. i have to hit the power button and choose sleep or choose sleep from the menu. does anyone know how to fix this. Thanks.

Hi, fatchance. You have a hardware issue. The reed switch that puts the PB to sleep when it is closed is a two-part device. The latch mechanism in the main body of the Powerbook contains a magnet (which you can detect by moving a paper clip over it), and the switch itself is located inside the small latch opening in the display bezel. When the display is closed, the magnet is supposed to actuate the switch, putting the PB to sleep. If that isn't happening on your PB, the switch is broken or its wiring is damaged. Either way, the remedy will be to replace the entire display assembly. It's made not to be disassembled. Most technicians won't do so, because of the great likelihood of damaging the display housing/bezel or the display itself while prying it apart (it's epoxied together). Since the display is the PB's most costly part, replacing it merely to fix your reed switch would be a poor bargain, and I can't recommend it. Just put the PB to sleep manually or set a suitable sleep delay in the Energy Saver control pane instead.

T540p will not go to sleep when the lid is closed

I recently got a T540p and all settings in Windows 8.1 are set to "sleep" when either the power button or lid is closed. Neither of these work, the screen stays on when the lid is closed. If I let the computer idle long enough, the computer will enter sleep. I've used Lenovo System Update to get the latest drivers and there is nothing outstanding. Could someone please advise if there is anything else to check?

Hi Adamstirtan,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with system not going to sleep mode on your ThinkPad T500.
Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Choose what closing the lid dose – When close the lid – On battery sleep – Plugged in sleep.
To prevent programs from waking your computer:
Open Power Options by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Security, and then clicking Power Options.
On the Select a power plan page, click Change plan settings for the plan that you want to change.
On the Change settings for the plan page, click Change advanced power settings.
On the Advanced settings tab, expand Sleep, expand Allow wake timers, choose Disable for both when your computer is running on battery and when it's plugged in, and then click OK.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

Can i choose the resolution of my external display for when the lid is closed when my lid is open

When I close the lid of my MacBook Pro for an external display apple chooses a resolution that isn't compatible with my display can I choose the resolution when the lid is open in any way of my external display for the mode when the lid is closed?

Hi there, I had a similar problem and was unable to resolve it. I spent about an hour on the phone with a very helpful AppleCare rep who was also completely stuck. It would seem that the only solution is to choose a setting with trial and error while the lid is closed.
My MacBook ended up getting stuck on a closed-lid reoslution that wasn't supported, so I had to do a screen-share with another device to see what the video card was sending to the external display and change it back that way.

My macbook pro shuts down OSX and all my programs when the lid is closed

Hi,
I am having a problem. My macbook pro shuts down OSX and all my programs when the lid is closed. I close the lid, and then I hear the shutdown music and then when I open it again it automatically restarts OSX and all my windows and programs are closed, any info gone.
This doesn't happen all the time. Just once a day or maybe twice a day. It seems like it happens basically when I have my computer just the way I want it, to keep an eye on things for the day.
I just recently switched to a mac and while somewhat savvy, I am not a programmer or techie, but it seems to me that when I shut the lid, it should do the same thing every time.
I have a intel core 2 duo 17 inch macbook pro with 2.33 processr and 2 gig ram, if that helps.
I am in alaska and there is no genius bar here and I am hoping to figure this out before I begin bugging our local independant mac store about this.
Thanks in advance,
Lylah

Ahhh, enlightenment!
That would make sense. What I usually do, after closing the lid, is to wait for the apple to turn off and then set it down on it's side leaning it against the side table. I will try to wait for it to indicate that it is fully asleep before I move it next time. Personally, I prefer my computer to NOT fall asleep at all, but I am told it is not an option. Apparently this function is hardware related accoring to my local mac shop. They tracked it down for me because I hated this feature when I first bought my computer and was trying some way around it.
The shutdown music I was refering to was that music the mac makes when shutting down, which doesnt usually occur when it goes to sleep, unless it is malfunctioning like this.
What does resetting the pmu do? (what is a pmu as well?)
Thank you very much.

Hi,
I think your event handler "StageChangez()" is called before your Panel title is set. Try first change title, then change currentState.
Oh yes my mistake, you are adding it when state changes. You can put your Panel's title change in StageChangez() and after that you can do some actions.

Adrian

Windows 10: Open Windows Are Resized When The Lid Is Closed

I have just done the free Windows 10 Pro upgrade. Everything seems to be working fine; except for this issue. Every time I simply close and re-open the laptop lid, the open windows are resized. Most windows get restored to where they started, yet they seem to ALL have been resized and then sized to their previous location. You can tell because minimizing / restoring windows does not remember the actual last size that you used. But some windows DO NOT get resized back where I left them. Chrome in partiular becomes crazy. Sometimes the window becomes maximized; and other times it gets sized to a smaller rectangle at the top left of the screen. You can see all the windows flicker and jump around when you re-open the lid. ... My laptop is the ThinkPad W540. MsInfo32: OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Pro

Minor update: I performed another Windows 10 reset: I reset the operating system, keeping User Files. So the system got re-installed. I ran Windows Update until all updates came down. I also ran the Lenovo System Update and installed all updates. Specifically, at this point, I haven't gone looking for additional drivers, such as the graphics drivers --- and on this dual-graphics, there is no control panel for the high performance NVIDIA GPU ... I don't know if that is making any difference. The bug DOES persist; but behaves marginally different at this point ... at least, the open Chrome window no longer resizes; and the Task Manager doesn't move; but other things still jump around, and the open Control Panel window becomes duplicated. Again, this is just by closing and re-opening the laptop lid. The Lid-Closed behavior is set to "Do Nothing"; and the Intel Graphics is set to High Performacen mode. ... So I don't know if they do, but I would not understand why the graphics would switch when the lid closes: they still might. I have another video that captures the behavior. Again: there is no Lid-Closed action, and just closing and re-opening the lid causes the resolution to switch back and forth. YouTube: https://youtu.be/Qapt3ZyOVE4 ... I would like to see this cured, since it is truly a very annoying bug! Your work becomes disrupted simply from closing the lid.
