Bug#726763: gnome-settings-daemon: no suspend on close lid, action not configurable, key missing

[Johannes Rohr]

Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 3.8.5-2
Severity: normal

Gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.5 does not suspend the laptop when I close the lid while running on battery 

The respective action is not configurable in gnome-control-center.

Running gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-battery-action suspend returns an error:

No such key 'lid-close-battery-action'

According to https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/3.5/power-closelid.html.en this would be the key to use.

Also, 

inspecting the contents of /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/ in dconf-editor shows that no keys for configuring what happens when the lid is being closed are available.

So, something appears to be missing.

Thanks,

Johannes
