Is there any way to actually suspend a laptop when the lid is closed regardless of any external devices?
Might be a result of your /etc/systemd/logind.conf
Default in that file seems to be: HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore
Have you tried to set this to: HandleLidSwitchDocked=suspend
After changes you may need to logout/login, or simply reboot your machine. If unsure, I'd reboot.
From man logind.conf(5):
"If the system is inserted in a docking station, or if more than one display is connected, the action specified by HandleLidSwitchDocked= occurs"
That option doesn't make any difference. Gnome has its own inhibitor: gsd-power handle-lid-switch External monitor attached or configuration changed recently block
There's no way around it.
... except one posting on the gitlab page you mentioned suggests the solution I recommended, and for Gnome, it seems ... ;)
Works here still on F34, X11, i3, too: single monitor connected via HDMI to a laptop. Except I only changed logind.conf, back in 2018, nothing more, it seems.
In /etc/UPower/UPower.conf tho' I have this, different from what was suggested on the gitlab page: IgnoreLid=false
Just tested it again - works: closing the lid with a connected monitor switches off both; resuming switches on both without issues.
