I found this question, but that's tagged , and is unanswered, so i'm asking a new, more general, question.

If the computer is either locked or logged out, is it possible to put it to sleep? The laptop's hotkey for that doesn't work in either of these cases.

Ubuntu 14.04 with a default setup and multiple user accounts.

Open the /etc/systemd/logind.conf file in a text editor as root, for example,

sudo -H gedit /etc/systemd/logind.conf

Add a line

HandleLidSwitch=sleep

(make sure it's not commented out!), Restart the systemd daemon with this command:

sudo restart systemd-logind

tell me if this fixed your issue. i found something similar here: How can I tell Ubuntu to do nothing when I close my laptop lid?
