It may seem silly but I switched to KDE plasma becaus of this feature. In my humble opinion as a sysadmin, a modern desktop PC in 2024 should not need the user to query config values for power settings!
This is the first thing I've found since I switched from Windows where windows just does it better, to be honest. Kde doesn't make you jump through these hoops? I love gnome, It's the perfect aesthetic for me, and I love how... Flowy it feels. But grrrrrr about this. Lol
Nope! Plasma has a nice settings page dedicated to to this power related configuration, so you click exactly what you want to happen and forget about it. I configured plasma to work almost identically to gnome with the overview and gestures and it is so snappy. Still hope that the gnome devs work out a way to make these options more accessible, but even if they added those there’s no way I’d switch back now!
Can you run these commands and paste the output here?
$ systemd-analyze cat-config systemd/logind.conf | grep -i lid
$ grep -i lid /etc/UPower/UPower.conf
If I'm reading it right, it's saying it should be working?
/usr/lib/systemd/logind.conf~cody@fedora:~$ systemd-analyze cat-config systemd/logind.conf | grsystemd-analyze cat-config systemd/logind.conf | grep -i lid #HandleLidSwitch=suspend #HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=suspend #HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore #LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=yes cody@fedora:~$ grep -i lid /etc/UPower/UPower.conf
IgnoreLid=false

Apparently # makes a line huge? All the huge lines are preceded by a #
# at the beginning of a line followed by a space is markdown for a H1 format. That's why it gets huge. You can escape this formatting with \
Thank you!

I think so, but I might be overlooking something.

As macniel said, a line starts with "#" is converted to a heading. To post preformatted lines such as the log or source code, you can use "fenced code block". For example,
```
foo
#bar
baz
```
becomes
foo
#bar
baz
Thanks for teaching me something! :)
Any idea what to do about the lid close issues with that output? I'm stumped, but I'm stumped easily, so I'm not sure how dead-endy this is haha
It's not a dead end :) Can you
"systemctl suspend" suspends your machine to check suspend work"gnome-tweaks" and there's no suspend inhibitor in the "Startup Applications""systemd-inhibit | less" to know who inhibit the suspend"gsettings list-recursively | grep -i 'lid\|suspend'"(Please remove enclosing double quotes when you try them.)
I really appreciate your help, but I had to do a fresh install of Fedora last night. It was having major issues after I updated to 40. I hadn't used the laptop in nearly 2 years, and I think it just messed up when I updated it. It is working perfectly now, though!
My main issue now is that I got nextcloud through hertzner to back up everything before I reinstalled, and I accidently rented a server on there in addition to the storage share, and I'm not sure how to give it back 😭
Oh it was hard. FYI Fedora supports a major version for a year. To upgrade from non-supported old version, additional steps may be required:
I hope you could solve the new issue too.
Yeah, that's what I get for not reading well enough and just busting my way through like a bull in a china shop. Lol. Lesson learned, though.
I really appreciate all your help. Honestly, it's one of the best things about switching to Linux, since I have, any time I've had any issue, even minor stuff, people have jumped on the chance to help me learn and fix it. It's been amazing. And then switching to Lemmy has just made that experience even better
