After I close the lid of the laptop it doesn't enter in suspend mode. This happened immediately after an update of Ubuntu 18.04. I use the setting suspends when the laptop lid is closed OFF until I find a solution.

Why it doesn't suspend mode work?

In Ubuntu 18.04 Gnome desktop, there’s no option in Settings utility for configuring laptop lid close actions. And Gnome Tweaks only offer a switch to enable/disable ‘Suspend when the laptop lid is closed.

Follow the steps:

  • Open Terminal
  • Paste the following command in the Terminal sudo gedit /etc/systemd/logind.conf
  • Provide your system password if it asks.
  • Now you need to find the line #HandleLidSwitch=suspend & uncomment it (Remove the # from the beginning).

  • It will be like the below image: enter image description here

  • Save and exit the file.

  • Now restart the Systemd service using the following command: systemctl restart systemd-logind.service

That's it, This method will fix your issue.

I was also facing the same issue. So you may have switched to Nvidia graphics drivers. If that's the case, just switch back to Intel and restart.

I had to do: HandleLidSwitch=ignore HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind

This means do nothing when lid is closed
