Closing the lid interrupts the shutdown and it suspends.....

[ImperfectSoldier]

When I manually shutdown the laptop and close the lid, the shutdown process just freezes. Later when I open the lid, I find that that it resumes the shutdown process, and that it was suspended due to closing the lid, not shutdown. I have looked it up and I couldn't find an exact match for this problem and the solutions to related topics suggested removing the suspend function.
I don't want that, I want to be able to close the lid to suspend and also the shutdown process to NOT be interrupted when I close the lid (similar to how it is on Windows).
I have TLP installed but the problem persisted even when I disable TLP with command
"sudo systemctl disable tlp"
What can I do so that the shutdown is not interrupted by closing the lid?

Try setting LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited to no in /etc/systemd/logind.conf

Thank you for the response, but the issue still persists even after changing that...
Anything else that I can do to fix it?

How exactly are you shutting the system down?

GNOME works for me, check systemd-inhibit to see if Plasma is handling the lid action ("suspend-key"):

Code: Select all

empty@E485 ~ % systemd-inhibit --no-p
