Ubuntu 18.04 freezes when running `systemctl restart systemd-logind.service`

  • 772

I am trying to change my laptop's lid close behavior following this article: http://tipsonubuntu.com/2018/04/28/change-lid-close-action-ubuntu-18-04-lts/

When I get to run:

systemctl restart systemd-logind.service

my system freezes and gets stuck.

What am I doing wrong here? Is there a simpler solution?

    Restarting systemd-logind is not good for your graphical session(s). I would have expected the session to crash and log you out instead, but that's not what they imply either. I have no idea what they were doing. I would suggest rebooting instead of running the restart command.

    In case you set it to hibernate, make sure that you have also tested hibernation, e.g. by running this command:

    systemctl hibernate
