Details

Description: On my Dell precision 5540, after upgrading upower from (0.99.15-1 -> 0.99.16-1), the laptop display stays active when the lid is closed and the laptop is docked. Previously it would turn off and when I went into display settings only the two monitors connected to the dock would show.

Additional info:
* package version(s): 0.99.16-1
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Reproducible on Xorg and Wayland session

/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state shows correct state, so lid closing is detected

Downgrading to 0.99.15-1 solves the problem

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start laptop
2. Plug into dock
3. Wait for dock connected screens to come on
4. Close laptop lid

Expected: laptop display is no longer active
Actual: laptop display stays active
This task depends upon

Same happens for me on Dell XPS 13 9300 after upgrade upower 0.99.15-1 -> 0.99.16-1. Downgrade fixes it.

Hi!
Had to revert to version 0.99.15-1.
As soon as you upgrade to 0.99.16 , the "lid close actions" dissapear from this menu: https://i.imgur.com/jJnr3Fn.png
That's why both my laptops stopped suspending or shutting down. Those options are not there anymore

I also confirmed this issue on a Thinkpad T450 and T470s when using upower 0.99.16-1 in Gnome with Wayland.

As recommended, I downgraded to upower 0.99.15-1 and every time I closed my laptop LCD my external monitor automatically became the primary screen in Gnome.
