> This is a series of note where I try to fix a lid issue I had originally on Devuan, however I decided to troubleshoot on Debian first…
My beloved crapbook, which does honestly its job, has having a lot of issues when you close and open the lid, it may happen anything, although the most common cases are:
Frozen screen but mouse working; caps-lock led working; TTYs working so you can restart the login manager with:
sudo service lightdm --full-restart
Black and white striped screen; totally frozen; caps-lock led not working; in this case you have to force a reboot with the sysrec magic recovery combo:
alt + printscreen r e i s u b
I tested several combinations and followed various ancient and modern workarounds, none of those worked out; eventually I found my recipe, perhaps many steps are even unnecessary, however this combination seems to have the highest rate of reliability.
sudo apt purge xserver-xorg-video-intel
xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/logind-handle-lid-switch -n -t bool -s true
> This setting seems to be forgotten, create an entry in "session and startup"
HandleLidSwitch=ignore HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=ignore HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=no
> it is a good idea make a backup before
If you were able to read also the last point it means the workaround made its dirty jobs, and you and I can continue to use the crapbook as any other else!
Peace! 🙏
I am going to use Debian with this workaround for another full week, although my scope is to come to Devuan. I hope this workaround will work also with Devuan plus runit… 🙏
