For those with multiple frameworks in their family, I’m reminded again that stacking frameworks and expecting the top one to resume doesn’t work. Opening the lid, pressing the power button, reseating USB connections all fail to wake the laptop up. The second I lift the top framework off the other, it wakes right up…Magnets…I don’t know if this is just a fedora thing? Either way, a fun, little quirk that took me 5 minutes to figure out in the morning…
Honestly this is something working right, for the wrong reasons. But think about it: If your lid is closed but something is able to push the power button, do you want your laptop turning on? Of course not.
Good to know for those who don’t of course!
Nothing to do with fedora.
Laptop lid open / close sensors are normally magnetic sensors. It’s located left edge side, near the headphone jack. Some macbooks are also reported to trigger this, must have a magnet in the right location.
Yep, I’ve even managed to trigger this just by placing a small electronic device (containing magnets) down next to my laptop. I’ve heard macbooks require the sensors on both sides of the laptop to fire to reduce the chance of accidentally triggering sleep but stacking laptops would trigger both sides anyway
I’ve had the clasp on my watch trigger sleep before too if it comes near the left side of the Framework near the keyboard.
Depends…is it docked? Connected with external monitor and keyboard? …etc… Then there’s the WOL and WOWL trigger use cases. Hell, many times, Windows just love to wake up the laptop when it’s not supposed to.
Macbooks have hinge sensors.
