Description Fernando Marcelino Muniz 2026-01-16 19:18:09 UTC

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a notebook connected to a external HDMI monitor+keyboard+mouse.
2. Have the notebook lid closed.
3. End user session.

OBSERVED RESULT
It suspends the system if you're using a external HDMI monitor with the lid closed.

EXPECTED RESULT
It should do what I clicked to do, nothing more.

I am not able to reproduce this on Plasma built from git-mater
In Power Management settings for the On AC power profile, "on lid close" was set to  "Do nothing"
After logging off, the HDMI monitor went blank, but displayed the login screen when I moved the mouse
After logging in, I verified through system logs that the system did not sleep / suspend after the system reached the "Exit the Session" target

We'll need more information to be able to determine what's happening. Can you share
- A screenshot of the Power Management settings for the relevant power profile
- System logs for the time just before you close the laptop lid and just after you log in

Thanks
