HP 6510b freeze when I close the monitor
Hi,
I have a problem with a laptop HP 6510b [1] on which I installed KDE 4.3, that freeze most of the time I close the monitor. In the System Settings I excluded any action following the monitor closure.
Moreover if I close the monitor durign the shutdown, after the DE is closed, the latop also freeze with a lot of kernel crash messages.
Anybody has an idea of how to trace the problem?
Thanks in advance
Jimmi

This works for me too thanks hw-tph! And also has the side effect to work when resuming from suspend, before it was not
I have a couple of questions, if I may. Do you know who and when is creating the file during the boot sequence? I still wonder why before it was working and now not anymore.
The kernel devs changed the setting, causing the hangup. I thought I had a link to it somewhere (I owned a 6510b before) but I seem to have lost it, if you want to get dirty, I think it was this kernel commit.
Second, in the ArchWiki it is written that the acpid daemon could be left out from the DAEMONS line because it is triggered by the hal daemon, that works for me.
If I'm not mistaken calling HAL will make HAL start dbus if it isn't running yet - but not the acpid daemon.

How do i run an external monitor with my macbook and change settings so that when i close the lid the signal to the monitor is not lost and i can continue using the mac with a mouse and a wireless keyboard?
No, nothing will prevent the computer from going to sleep when you close its display except third-party hacks that are designed to do exactly that. I strongly advise against using any of those, as they may interfere with successful entry into clamshell mode (and they carry other downside risks as well). Just wait until the computer is asleep (with its sleep light pulsing), then press any key on the keyboard. It sounds as though your setup is working as it's designed to do.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3382
18. What is the maximum resolution available for use with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter?
The resolution available with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter is 1920 x 1200. VGA displays that use higher refresh rates (such as 85 Hz) at resolutions of 1600 x 1200 or greater may not generate video properly until you lower the refresh rate.

How can I detect displays?
If the detect displays option is not available, hold down the Option key while you are in the Display pane.
How do I select additional resolutions on my display?
You can use the Display pane of System Preferences to specify how your display works. Not all options appear for all display models. By default the best resolution for your display will already be selected in System Preferences.
To select a different resolution, use the Scaled option. Some additional resolutions may be available when you hold the Option button.
I hope this information helps ....

My macbook pro won't go to sleep when I close the lid
I've been having this problem for a couple of years now, and it's getting pretty annoying.
I got this MacBook Pro in April of 2011. Otherwise, it works great. It goes to sleep when I go up to the apple menu and select "sleep." BUT, when I close the lid, it stays on. Heaven forbid I don't have it plugged in, because then the battery will be shot! It also won't go to sleep automatically when I leave it for a long time. Yet another potential battery drain.
How do I fix it so that it goes to sleep automatically when I close the lid and when I leave it alone for a while?
In Energy Saver, I have checked all the boxes necessary: "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" "Wake for network access" and "Automatically reduce brightness before display goes to sleep."
Am I missing something here, or does my computer just have a defect?I had the same issue.
I used an external monitor but all of a sudden when I closed the lid my Macbook Pro did not go to sleep!
I solved the problem with a SMC reset.

When I close the lid to my Macbook Pro, it won't stay awake.
I am trying to hook up a SAMSUNG SyncMaster B2330 monitor to my MacBook Pro so that I can close the lid and work with my wireless mouse and keyboard instead of the laptop screen. I have limited desk space and I dont have room to have two monitors open.
When I close the lid and wiggle the mouse, my computer wakes up for a second, but then quickly goes back to sleep. I am not currently plugged into power, but I am running on battery.

[SOLVED] Run xscreensaver when I close the laptop lid
I have xscreensaver running in my archlinux, and with a systemd service, I can start it after waking up my laptop.
The problem is that I like to keep my laptop running when I close the lid (for example, to go to bed while I'm downloading a file, I like to simply close my lid), but I want to lock my computer.
In the /etc/systemd/logind.conf, there is a nice option called HandleLidSwitch, which specifies which action is invoked when the lid is closed, and there is a lock option, but It doesn't work for me.
The option suspend works fine.
Here is my /etc/systemd/logind.conf:

Any help?
Last edited by alomsimoy (2013-09-10 18:08:33)I would say that you should just have logind ignore the LidSwitch altogether. So if it is set to ignore the lid switch, then it obviously isn't going to be entering the suspend.target (or is it the sleep.target, I can't remember). Therefore, you are going to have to have some other way of triggering actions in response to these events.
The lid switch sends an event to udev, so you have the option of having a udev rule that responds to this, or using acpid to start this for you. I would recommend using acpid, as it is much more flexible in what it can allow you to do.
Edit: acpid is not necessarily more flexible than a udev rule, as it relies on the udev events. But it is a much easier method of setup since it simply relies of basic scripting in order to make it work. It can allow for one central script (or collection of scripts) to handle all the different events that udev sends. To see what kinds of things trigger a udev event, you can use udevadm monitor or if you install acpid, there is the acpi_listen option.
Edit2: BTW, what is it you mean by not working? Does it still suspend on lid close, or is your xscreensaver not started? You need to be more explicit there. If it is still suspending, have you rebooted or restarted logind after making those changes to logind.conf? You can't just edit the file and have the changes implemented right away, as the configuration is parsed and the settign implemented on the service start.

I am running Win. 8.1 and had no issues with FF 24. Since upgrading to FF 25, firefox will appear closed when i close the window but the process doesn't shutdown. I have to go into Task Manager to end the process. I can then launch it again.
SOLUTION (possible).
Hi all. I had this problem as well. I currently run FF26. A week or so ago, out of nowhere FF wouldn't exit - the window would close but firefox.exe process would keep running in the background using about 50% of CPU. Not sure if it's connected, but just prior to that I clicked on a link on Facebook that looked like spam website, nothing happened, site loaded (sort of, all I saw was a msg - Please Wait...) but nothing happened, I have Eset antivirus and it monitors network traffic and files for viruses, so maybe it prevented my PC getting infected...
So, I had this problem for a few days, was searching the net for solutions, but nothing seem to help. Then, just out of luck I did something that WORKED!
Here's what I did. I noticed that svchost.exe was using a lot of CPU alongside with FF. I ran ProcessExplorer to see what might be connected to this process, the list was long and I didn't have any idea where to start, so what I did was - Right click on svchost process, choose Debug and dismiss the warning. In a few seconds svchost process quit and after that FF started closing properly.
I had to re-enable all my plugins and themes I disabled prior, I also lost my history and preferences which I trashed in the process of searching for solution. But heck, it worked, hopefully for good. Now if someone could point out the real cause of this and fix it for everyone - that would be great. Cheers! -
I am running OSX Lion 10.78.4 and the computer will no longer go into sleep mode when I close the cover. In system preferences I can no longer find the option that allows for this energy saving feature. What happened to this option and why is this no longer happening with the latest version of Lion?
No external monitors or devices attached. When you mention that this function only works when devices are attached that is true when you set up your preferences that way. Up until my upgrade to Lion the computer would always go into sleep mode when I closed the lid. There also used to be an option to check in system preferences that allowed you to choose this option. My question for the discussion is what happened to that option and how do you get the computer to sleep or at least the display to sleep when you close the lid as we have been able to do in the past. Thanks.

Macbook freezing when I close it
Recently (as in today), whenever I shut my macbook and then open in I am experiencing problems. Half the time the screen remains black and wont wake up and I have to restart it, and the other half of the time the mouse freezes and I cant type/do anything, and I have to restart it.
What is the problem?How long do you give the computer to wake up?
When you close the lid, do you wait for the light on the front of the computer to start to pulsate?
If you reboot the computer, and ones booted put the computer to sleep. and then wake up the computer dose the issue happen?
You might want to try reseting the SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
and a PRAM reset. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 . -
Satellite A200-AH3 shut down instead of standby when I close the lid
Hi,
I have a Notebook Satellite A200-AH3. When I bought it Windows Vista was preinstalled (I still have de recovery disc). When I closed the lid the system standby (I mean the monitor turn off as the HD, the cooling fan and everything else). The On/Off light on the laptop turned to a blinking orange light.
Then I opened the lid and Windows prompted me the logon screen. This process only happened when the laptop run on the battery, not when it was plugged. Everything was fine like that.
But I formated the HD to install WIndows XP which I bought because Windows vista seem to be too heavy for my laptop. So I installed Windows XP and all the driver and software found on the Toshiba website. Now when I close the lid, Windows shutdown very rapidly (about5-6 seconds). However it is a real shut down. When I reopen the lid nothing happen.
Then I press the power button and Windows start normally (no screen saying that windows close annormally and no Safe-Mode starting option). Even if I change the setting in the Control Panel/Power Option or in the Toshiba Power Saver Utility and I set them to Standby, it always perform a shut down.
How do I restablish that?What Lars tries to say is that your notebook goes into stand by mode as it should the issue could be that the display does not wake up from stand by when you open the lid.
On the Toshiba European driver page there are different A200 series but I didnt find your series.
Looks like this notebook model is not a European series but Toshiba Canadian notebook.
So you would have to visit the Toshiba Canadian page to get the right BIOS and drivers.
As Im not mistaken there should be also an Toshiba Power saver for Win XP.
Please configure it properly.
In Setup action (power saver tab) you can set the setting what should happen when you close the lid.

Normaly it goes to sleep, when I close the Lid, but suddently this function stopped. That means that Mac'en still is running and become warm, during transport.
(Macbook Air 13 ", medio 2011, 1,7 core i5, 4 MB ram, 256 GB, iMac 22", Timecapsule 1 TB, Airport Express, 2 Iphone 4, 1 iPhone 3s, iPad2)Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
Step 1
▹ System Preferences ▹ Print & Scan ▹ Open Print Queue...
Check all printers for unfinished jobs. Deal with any you find.
Step 2
▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter ▹ Wake for network access: uncheck. You may need to unlock the preference pane by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your administrator password.
Step 3
▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Schedule… ▹ Start up or wake: uncheck
Step 4
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse or trackball, and monitor, if applicable.
Step 5
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar of the Activity Monitor window, if not already selected. Enter “powerd” (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Select the powerd process and click the Quit Process button in the toobar (stop-sign icon.) In the sheet that opens, click Force Quit. You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. The process will be relaunched immediately.
Step 6
Boot in safe mode and log in. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the Mac OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
Step 7
Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
Step 8
If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again. -
Since I installed Lion on my macbook the LED light does not pulse when I close the screen - the sleep function does not work neither when chosen after pressing the button nor chosen in the apple menu..
I have had the same problem but on another forum it was suggested that disabling internet sharing would solve this. This fix seems to work on my machine - why it works I do not understand

A rundown of what I've tried:
Adjusting energy settings to try to prevent sleep
Pluging the USB keyboard and wacom tablet directly into the laptop (as opposed to a usb hub)
My laptop's power cable is connected
My display (a Vizio TV) is recognized in the System Preferences panel
I'd been using this TV for about a year with my older Macbook Pro (OS 10.5.8), though using a different wireless keyboard and mouse
***Update: The issue seems to lie with the keyboard and wacom tablet. I am trying to use a wireless Case Logic keyboard (with dongal) and wired wacom tablet to wake the Macbook Pro in clamshell mode. To experiment, I tried using my Logitech wireless keyboard & mouse set (also dongal) that I had been using before and it wakes the computer without any problems! However, I really need to be able to use my wacom tablet. If I switch to the tablet after waking the computer using the Logitech keyboard & mouse it works, but once the computer sleeps it won't work anymore. I could keep switching back and forth I suppose, but it's sort of a pain. There has to be an easier way! Any ideas why the wired wacom tablet is unable to wake the computer in clamshell mode?
Thanks!So your keyboard or mouse won't wake the Mac when you close the lid correct? Try resetting the SMC and pram
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys. -
Why does itunes and other media continue to play when i close the lid on my macbook pro 2011???
Hey, I am new to mac and still getting used to it (making the transition from windows), its amazing! Anyhow, I cannot figure out why my itunes and other media like youtube or a film on vlc player continues to play once the lid has been closed. I thought that when i close the lid the macbook should then sleep. It does everytime when there is nothing playing. The little white light on the bottom right hand corner of the book is on but music continues to play.
The sleep option always works. If I press the power button and choose the option sleep it does so etcc.
Is this normal and am I just being stupid or is there a problem??
I bought the laptop from ebay, its a macbook pro late 2011 17inch. I dont have apple support and might have to make a trip into London to the mac store however I was hoping someone can help me...
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
Thanks if you can it is muc appreciated....!!hey, thanks for the reply. I don't know to be perfectly honest. When I close the lid without any music playing it sleeps fine. How could I check?
So basically I pressed the power button and pressed sleep. The laptop turned off and the little white light turned on no problem. I did the same thing with closing the lid and it went to sleep no problem. (Can you confirm that when the little white light is on it means the laptop is sleeping)??.
I then had itunes playing and pressed the power button and when i pressed sleep the music paused then 6 seconds later it went to sleep. I then had itunes playing and closed the lid and the music kept on playing even though the white light was on.
