KDE: Laptop only sleeps when closing lid every other time

Hello all,
I'm running KDE 4.14.1 on an older Toshiba Satellite laptop. In the KDE System Settings, I've told it to sleep when closing the lid and this works - but strangely only every other time I close the lid. It will work once, then I open the lid and it powers up just fine. Then I close it again and the screen just turns off but the laptop stays fully powered.
Any ideas what might be going on? It consistently only sleeps every other time when I close the lid (the other times it just turns the screen off).

Take a look at /etc/systemd/logind.conf
Is systemd also trying to manage this?

Macbook pro not turning on after SMC reset. I have the following problem. Yesterday I noticed that my mbp 2011does not sleep when closing the screen. smc due loud fan and an X on battery symbol

Yesterday I noticed that my mbp 2011 dos not sleep when closing the screen cover. Today I Turner my laptop in. However the fan was working loudly and stayed loud. After Start I noticed an X on Battery symbol. Clicking on it, it showed 'no battery.' I found out that a potential solution for this problem was SMC reset. I also noticed that the leds on magsafe was not lightning. Despite this I tried to execute the smc reset as described on apple support site. Switching off, plugin the magsafe connector, pushed the buttons shift + alt+ ctrl + power. Then i pushed the power button, but my mbp is not turning on. I pushed several times on the power button but nothing works. The magsafe is also dark meaning the leds not lightning. Can anyone here help me on this ?

Problem solved by my own. But do not how :) magsafe again working and the laptop tooo

PowerBook G4 not going to sleep when closed???

My 15-inch 1.67 GHz PowerBook doesn't go to sleep when closed. The Apple on the back on the display stays lit and the display doesn't go dark either. Anyone have any ideas???

Check that your sleep magnet hasn't fallen. Take something made of steel like a paperclip, and see if it sticks to the outside of the case above the Apple logo. If not, the magnet inside may have moved. When the cover is closed, the magnet is directly over and affects the trackpad area. If you have a magnet (like on your refrigerator), wave it over the trackpad and it should go to sleep.

MacBook Pro won't sleep when closed

So yesterday I closed the computer at the office and came home with it like normal and this morning the battery was dead which was unusual.
I plugged in and started up, no big deal.
Then I finished just now and shut the computer and noticed that the apple and the screen stayed lit. I can't find the place in preferences to tell it to shut down when closing the screen...
Any help would be appreciated

hi,
I have the similar problem with my mac book pro 17" after updating to Mac OS X 10.5.7 and installing Safari 4 - when I close it, it goes down in the sleeping mode, but only once. When I open it and whant to close it for the second time, it doesn´t - it´s freezing. Also, if I do it manually thrue the menue, it ist the same. It is freezing and the coursor is gone and only thing I can do then is to turn it off and start again. After that the same play start again - standby works only once. Any help proposal? Tnx and greetings from Vienna

Would like MBP not to sleep when closed

Hello, Is there anyway i can prevent my MBP from sleeping when it is closed, so as to continue large downloads etc?

Try SleepLess:

That should work

Sets into sleep when closing le lid, even with the display connected

I have the problem, that when I close the lid of my MacBook, it goes to sleep mod. This even happens when I connect the display. Even following the steps on the Apple.com page, it still goes into sleep mode.
Please help me avoid this sleep mode problem, I want to use my display instead of my computers screen. (yes, I have a wireless keyboard and mouse, paired all of them)
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
You can't avoid it. This is the way it's supposed to work.
If you have the AC adapter plugged in, an external display plugged in and an external mouse and keyboard (USB or Bluetooth), you can WAKE the computer after it's gone to sleep with the lid closed. But it will go to sleep when you close it. This is detailed here:

Macbook Pro 8.2 does not sleep when closing the led.

I have a macbook pro 8.2. When I close the led, it sleeps then wakes up immediately. I can't put it to sleep by closing the led becaus it will wakes up again. So, If I want to put it to sleep, I have to choose the sleep option from apple menu. I am affraid that it is a hardware problem, something wrong in the sensors.

Since this is a 8.2 MBP it is fairly new, I have an 8.2, it has still got a lot of the original 1 year warranty left on it.
Just how do you know it is not going to sleep when you close the lid? Does the monitor not turn off? Does the sleep light on the front not come one and then slowly go out and come on again (flash slowly) when you close the lid?
If the screen doesn't turn off or the sleep light doesn't come on and then flash slowly you need to take it in to get it fixed ASAP.
If those things are happening, the screen turns off and the sleep light comes on then goes out then back on slowly, the MBP is actually in sleep mode. Even if once you open the lid it comes right back to life wvwn if it doesn't ask for your password. This is a setting in system preferences.

MBP won't sleep when closed?

Hey Guys,
I'm not sure what's up (as I didn't have this problem with 10.4.7) but ever since I updated to 4.8, when I close the lid on my MBP, the front light won't pulse at all.
I can here the HD and stuff still spinning etc.
If I have iTunes playing, it continues to play when closed (and it never did with 4.7)
I checked that spotlight isn't indexing. I close all my programs and still it wont sleep.
When I put it in its case to go to school, its really warm (since it's been on) and my battery life is dying because of it.
I don't know what's up with it, or what I can do to fix it? I checked the energysaver settings and they're all right. I've tried resetting PMU and repairing permissions aswell.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks in advanced.

See this thread for complete information on the files to delete. That fix is temporary. The recent firmware update for the MBP fixed the problem permanently (so far) for me, but not for others apparently.

MacBook Pro doesn't always go to sleep when closing. What can be done?

When closing the lid the Pro doesn't go to sleep on random occasions. This just became a problem. I can plug and unplug the power and it goes to sleep. The sleep mode will also put it to sleep. What can I do?

For:
"Responding to display lid opening and closing on portable Macs".
Rest SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:

Best.

Helix cannot sleep when closing lid

Helix does not sleep after closing lid, even though I set to let it sleep in power plan in windows.
I previously do not have this problem. Not notice anything changed.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Somehow, after rebooting, this problem is gone. So next time, I will try a reboot first. Thanks!

Macbook sleeps when closed

Hello guys. I recently bought a macbook because I knew they were great computers and worth the money. This one is about a year old. I understand that from the internet and observations, the computer goes to sleep when the lid is shut. I'm aware that the macbook gets very warm when hot. But when I wanna transfer it to a different room in my house, its a pain to have to shut it down for 2 minutes. Is there any way to stop it from doing that???

Hi Zach!
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I don't quite understand what you're asking. When you close the lid, the computer will automatically sleep. The only way this won't happen is if the machine is hooked up to an external monitor. You can move the machine somewhere else while it's on, as well as in sleep. Shutting down the machine to relocate it does not require you to turn it off and you can simply unplug the power adapter, relocate it and then plug it back in. Hope this helps.

Computer Won't Go To Sleep When Closed

When I close my computer, it doesn't go to sleep, the light just stays on. This started last night -- my computer was open and I thought it was plugged in, but it wasn't so the power ran out. When I plugged it in, I had to wait a few minutes while the computer got a bit of charge (even plugged in) in order to turn on the computer. But since then, when I close it, it doesn't go to sleep. If I hit the power button and put the computer to sleep, it will stay sleeping when I close the computer. Any thoughts?

There are many possible reasons for this problem. Here one thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/1674788#1674788
The best bet is, to check the error logs: open Console (Applications > Utilities) and paste here the last lines ... I am sure, there must be a daemon trying in vain to connect to the internet ...
