OK. That looks fine.

So You need to use either xfce4-power-manager/pm-utils or elogind for this, but
not both.

Details are available at https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-power-manager/faq and
in man logind.conf(5) (particularly the HandleLidSwitch* options).

How have you tried to set this up and exactly what doesn't work?

Is xfce4-power-manager actually running?

If it still isn't working please enable xfce4-power-manager debugging:

 xfce4-power-manager -q
 xfce4-power-manager --no-daemon --debug

and see what it reports when it runs.

Thanks.

Mark
