Hello !

I noticed a problem, when closing down the top lid of the notebook which uses Belenos.
The systems seems to go in "standby mode", with the power button going from green to red.
When opening the lid again, the screen is black, when pressing a key nothing happens and when pressing the power button for a longer time, the laptop shuts down ...
Any idea how to enable "lid resuming" ?

Regards,
Jan

I think it can sometimes take a long time to wake up from standby. Try standing by, and then wait when waking up, and see whether the computer finally wakes up after, say, a few minutes.

Anyway, I think there's a setting that disables standby, only enabling screen turn-offs instead.

Those settings can be altered in "Energy" (in the "System settings").

Does it resume when not using the lid?

@ Magic Banana - I use LXDE not sure to which "System settings" you refer...
@ lembas - It resumes when the lid is not closed, yes

Usually, it's due to a graphics driver issue. Not all graphics drivers can suspend and resume reliably.
