Fedora won't suspend/hibernate when closing laptop

There is a configuration file in Fedora that, by default, prevents the Notebook from going into sleep mode or hibernating when you close the Notebook.

To solve these problems:

1. Edit the file “/etc/systemd/logind.conf“
2. Removes the comment from the line “#HandleLidSwitchDocked=suspend”
3. Restart the service “systemctl restart systemd-logind“

That’s it! Now when you close your notebook, it will go into sleep mode.

If you want to hibernate the notebook instead of suspending it, simply replace “suspend” with “hibernate”.
