OS reboot fails when laptop lid is closed.

schnappi · 2021-09-16 11:54

Hello

For whatever reason, I have teamviewer installed on my q4os laptop and also the other laptop.

When the q4os laptop lid is closed, and from my other laptop, I restart q4os laptop, the reboot process hangs.

Please help.

laptop1 q4os with TV. Laptop2 also has a TV.
Lid of laptop1 is closed.
I can connect to LT1 using LT2 via TV.
On LT1 (q4os), via TV, do a restart computer.

Issue : reboot hangs. Laptop1/q4os never reboots.

Thx

Any traces or anything dev team needs to fix? Or some solution?

If the lid of LT1 is open, does the reboot work OK via teamviewer from LT2?

If so I would be looking at the power manager settings on LT1

What happens if you try to remote reboot LT2 with the lid closed from LT1 - in other words, the other way round.

You don't say which version of Q4OS you're using - that may have some bearing on other help.

You may need to disable the lid switch, I needed this for a laptop I used as a server once.
edit the file /etc/systemd/logind.conf and find the line that says

#HandleLidSwitch=suspend

change it to

HandleLidSwitch=ignore

this should do what you want now after you reboot (or restart logind with systemctl restart systemd-logind)

Note: I'm not sure if TdePowersave might override this option but it worked with Debian systems.

In TDESettings > General settings tab > Button event > Lid close button > I have set it to nothing.
Doesnt work.
Will try your solution. Thx.

Your solution worked. Thx a lot.

With your solution, now the screensaver + lock screen doesnt appear when lid is closed.

Dai_trying · 2021-09-20 08:47

That is one downside of this solution, although your screensaver should still activate on a timer if set that way.

I just accessed the server/laptop I used this way and I have screenon/off scripts to manually turn the screen off or on (via ssh) quite simply the scripts are like this :-

OFF

#!/bin/bash

xset -display :0.0 dpms force off

ON

#!/bin/bash

xset -display :0.0 dpms force on

I simply name them screenon and screenoff accordingly and place them in my $PATH to have them easily accessible.

Note: When the screen is off I can simply hit the return key to enable the display, but as this machine was housed in a hard to access place I did not need that very often.

Just thought I would post as it may help.
