Subject: Re: bug#479: xcfe4-power-manager: Can't configure laptop lid

Mark:

I installed vanilla Devuan Beowulf and noticed, that the power-manager
didn't give me an option to suspend on laptop lid. There also was no option
to suspend in the system settings. I installed pm-utis and rebooted and on
the first try, the power-manager offered "suspend" on laptop-lid, but it
didn't do anything. Subsequent calls to power manager had the "suspend"
options removed again.

I called it a day and installed acpid because it allows me to run scripts
on events. I created a laptop-lif script script that echo "mem" >>
/sys/power/state and, though a bit hacky, it works fine.

Here's the requested output:
