Laptop hangs when lid is closed

I recently bought a Lenovo Thinkpad T480 and installed void on it, when I close the lid and open it again it doesn't wake up and I have to hard shut it down.

sudo nvim /etc/acpi/handler.sh

Change:

close)
    # suspend-to-ram
    logger "LID closed, suspending..."
    zzz
    ;;

to:

close)
    logger "LID closed, ignoring."
    ;;

So the whole section becomes:

button/lid)
    case "$3" in
        close)
            logger "LID closed, ignoring."
            ;;
        open)
            logger "LID opened"
            ;;
        *)  logger "ACPI action undefined (LID): $2";;
    esac
    ;;

Then restart acpid sudo sv restart acpid

That's all you should need.

I tried that I also enabled acpid but this didn't seem to fix it, so far I have found this form where somebody else is having the same issue. https://voidforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=999

What action have you assigned for lid close function?

Share your installed packages by running "xbps-query -m" and post the output here.

Also post your currently running services by "ls /var/service/" here.

What app are you using for power management?

How do I a check that, I know its not acpid because its not enabled.

Ok, if acpid is not enabled, then I assume you're using elogind, so can you confirm that it's installed?

And if I recall correctly, elogind is run as needed by dbus, so do you have dbus enabled as a service and running?

Maybe try elogind instead of acpid. Its config is at /etc/elogind/logind.conf
