since I got the big bolus of updates from the CR repo a few days ago my netbook (AcerAspire One D255E) will no longer go to standby when the lid is closed.
This was a Gnome desktopp installation with theh MATE desktop fromm EPEL.
I've verified that the correct setting still exists in power manager but it persists in continuing to run when the lid closes.
it WILL go to standby if explicitly told to do so from the shutdown dialog.
Has anyone else seen anything like this?
TIA
Fred
I've heard this happening to someone on IRC, the solution if I remember correctly is to update MATE from epel-testing. See if that works for you.

thanks, Nux. I've just installed allthe MATE packaages from epel testing, and we'll see what happens.

yeah, that seems to have done the trick. An added bonus is that now the battery icon on the toolbar also reports much more reasonable info about the battery charge status.
thanks again!

Did you check epel (including -testing) for mate updates too? My laptop with current CR and all mate updates (from both epel and -testing) still suspends on a lid close. Since mate comes from epel, that's where its updates will come from too. Also note that there were a bunch of CR releases in the last day or two -- after the initial large release.

yeah, as of a little while ago, "yum update" finds nothing to do. and EPEL is enabled.

There's a "mate-power-manager-1.10.2-3.el7" package in epel-testing. Check to see if that's what you have installed. If not, enable their -testing repo to get it.
