Bug Description

When closing the lid, my system doesn't suspend although configured to do so (Unity settings)
- Pressing suspend on the bar works.
- /etc/acpi/lid.sh gets called but only turns off the screen

-> Dont know though wether this is a Unity, X or ACPI-problem..

adding a /etc/acpi/local/lid.sh.post does works though:

#!/bin/sh
grep -q closed /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state
if [ $? = 0 ]
then
    /usr/sbin/pm-suspend
fi

I feared that, just wanted to be as specific as possible.. Thanks for re-assigning.
Just noted "ubuntu-bug" (apport) didn't attach that many details as I expected, its my first time using it ;)

So if you need any further details, please let me know! (in which flavour preferred, I guess I'm also able to to get some deeper if required.. I just don't know anything about the interaction of Gnome, Unity, ACPI..)

But I can assure there is "suspend when closing the lid" is configured (with and without AC) so then it looks like a general thing..
