I have this problem. I can put my system to sleep, close the lid and it will have no problem waking up. But if I just close the lid it will not wake up after reopening the lid. The powerbutton lights up, but otherwise it won't react to anything. I have to do a hard shutdown by holding the powerbutton. After starting the system up I have no errors. Anybody knows how to change this behavior.
My setting are: System Settings > Power Management > Energy Saving > Button Event Handling > When laptop lid closes, Suspend. So in my mind the settings are correct. When I close the lid it should go to bed ( put things in Ram ) and sleep. I know it is not hard to make it sleep before closing the lid, but just closing the lid should work, right? Your thoughts about this please.

I have an HP Envy C1000en ( 17 inch ) Operating System: Kubuntu 20.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.7
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.12.8
Kernel Version: 5.11.0-41-generic
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-10510U CPU @ 1.80GHz
Memory: 15,3 GiB
in tripleboot with Mint Uma and Windows 10.

Thanks for your time and efforts.

I found the solution. Setting per KDE Activity: System Settings > Power Management > Activity Settings > choosen radio-button 'Use separate settings (advanced users only)' and selected the 'suspend' in Button Event Handling > When laptop lid closed. This worked. It is weird that you have to put 1 action ( suspend ) in two different locations though. One setting should be sufficient in my opinion.
Hope this helps other KDE users as well.

    You want to install KDE settings without the KDE Desktop environment? I'm not sure if that is possible, but open a question. Then lets see what other people say about it. I don't think that KDE settings will work in e.g. a Gnome DE. – Joepie Es Nov 08 '22 at 20:47
