Shutdown incomplete when the lid is closed after pressing shutdown

Question

I press shutdown button and if the lid is closed before the shutdown process end, this one resumes after I reopen the lid

Answer 1

I had the exact same problem here on Ubuntu 13.10. I solved it by adding the line :

    HandleLidSwitch=lock

in the file /etc/systemd/logind.conf.

And then using this command to make the changes effective:

    sudo restart systemd-logind

I hope it solves your problem too. Have a nice day.
