balcaen.john, mageia, nicolas.lecureuil The issue is a lower level change. systemd now handles lid close by default unless the higher levels specifically opt out and declare they will handle it themselves. This is a decision made to deal with the issues that are quite specific to lid closes - e.g. even if a program (e.g. CD Burner) inhibits suspend, if the user slams his lid shut and puts his laptop in his backback and runs for a bus/train, then damage to any rotating disks (the CD is not critical but the data on the HD likely is!) might occur. Therefore handling of lid closure has to be done differently to other user initiated suspend requires (e.g. pressing power button/selecting suspend from a menu etc), which can prompt the user with GUIs that indicate why hey may not currently be allowed to suspend (e.g. "You are currently burning a CD. Please wait for this operation to complete before suspend. Alternative, to override this warning, please enter the root password."). Anyway, that's the why. No we have to make KDE allow overriding of this (they user is always right!). So recently, Mikala merged some fedora patches into KDE workspace that *should* go some way to resolving this, but there does need to be a good bit more work to do it fully. Essentially it needs a patch like this one for Gnome: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680689 In the mean time, you can disable systemd handling of lid close via /etc/systemd/logind.conf although this should just be a stop gap until the higher level stuff is updated. NB Mikala, the patch: http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/kdebase4-workspace/current/SOURCES/kde-workspace-4.8.0-bug796969.patch?view=log shouldn't be required - it was a bug a long time ago but it was ultimately fixed in systemd. We did used to carry that patch but dropped it when things were fixed in systemd IIRC. That said, I'm not sure if the changes in it are technically correct anyway!).

Well when i did test it was not working correctly without this patch, that's why i added it. Ahh well, perhaps I'm misremembering :s This appears to be fixed now. Status:
