Comment 48 for bug 1210361

Folks,

After a long period of suffering, I found that this issue was caused by a combination of hardware and software problems. Apparently my laptop had power related problems, which were resolved by a motherboard replacement. This fixed the main problem, but I was still having problems having ubuntu recognizing the lid actions (open/close). After some troubleshooting, I found that the crashplan daemon running in the background was causing it.

Here's a one-liner for checking the lid actions in case you have a similar problem:

while true; do cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state; sleep 1; done

If you don't see "close" when you close the lid, then you might like to check for running processes, starting with crashplan.

I tried to mark this case as solved, but I can only see "fix committed/released" options. How can we properly close this case?

Thank you all from Canonical and Ubuntu community for your valuable help and feedback!
