Description Marcel 2018-09-19 10:16:56 UTC
When I close my laptop lid and open it, the Super/ Meta key is not starting the Application Launcher anymore (Alt+F1 still works).
I have disabled any Energy Saving options, so when I close the lid my laptop keeps running. 
Also it seems the bug only occurs while opening the lid. When the lid is closed I still can use the Super key (I tested it with an external keyboard and monitor).
I tried to fix it with a restart of the plasmashell and also with a Logout and Login with no success. 
Also I tried to change the keybind in ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc just to Meta but also no success.
The only way to bring back the functionality is to restart the computer or change the runlevel to multi-user.target and then back again to graphical.target.

I am running KDE neon 5.13 (KDE Plasma Version: 5.13.5 and KDE Frameworks Version 5.50.0) on a HP ZBook Bang & Olufsen. Its a clean install and the problem already occured after the installation.

Update:
I found out when I start any tty1 - tty6 with Ctrl+Alt+F1 (to 6) it solves the issues until I restart the system. I can open the start menu as usual. Even when I close the laptop lid and open it its still working. Ctrl+Alt+F7 (-12) does nothing.

This is X11 or Wayland?
Comment 3 Alexander Mentyu 2018-10-05 10:41:20 UTC

Operating System: KDE neon Developer Edition
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.80

Its on X11. When I close the lid on Wayland it opens up a console with the message "failed vce resume (-110)" and then it logs me out of my session.

This issue report is quite old. Can you please confirm, that it still persists with Plasma 5.23?
