Close laptop lid... nothing happens

Migrating from Kubuntu and everything is so much better save for this one incident. All my settings are set to “Sleep” when my lid is closed on ALL power settings. When I close my lid, the monitor doesn’t even turn off. So I have to suspend manually. Funny thing is that once I raise my lid after putting it in suspend manually, it catches and wakes up.

Anyone else run into this? I don’t know where to even start looking to fix it so whatever information is needed to help figure it out, I’ll post it. Thanks in advance!

I’m going to assume you didn’t re-use your kubuntu /home because by default it doesn’t give you a separate on in kubuntu?
Or, that you didn’t try and import your kde settings from kubuntu? You know kubuntu uses .kde but openSUSE used .kde4

I have no such issues though

What graphics device is your laptop using.And if say…nVidia. Is it using the nVidia driver?

I have 2 Toshiba laptops here. Both will ‘sleep’ when I close the lid after
a cold boot but one then will sleep only after I close the lid, open it,
then close it a second time. The other (a different model) sleeps by simply
closing the lid once. Never have been able to get the one to work on the
first close after that first sleep after booting.

I’m still running 12.2 GNOME on my 17r here, IIRC the 14r is very similar
in that it uses the Intel integrated video.

You might grab a 12.2 Live media and see if it works there - if it does,
then this may be a bug in 12.3.

Something else to do - close the lid, open it, and then grab the output
from “dmesg” and see if there are any messages displayed that indicate a
problem. Look for “PM: Preparing system for mem sleep” in the log.
