Yesterday, I upgraded to 22.04 from the last LTS version of Kubuntu. I am using an HP Elitebook 840 G6. I've reproduced the detailed software and hardware information below.
I now have several problems with power management and the computer sleeping and waking.
The first problem is that whatever settings I put into the power management energy savings interface don't seem to be remembered/attended to. For example, if I set the computer to "do nothing" when laptop lid is closed on AC power, it ignores this and instigates sleep when the lid is closed. I have tried a few combinations of settings, and there doesn't seem to be any pattern to what the settings say and what the computer actually does.
The rest of the problems are to do with what the computer does when it is woken from sleep. There are a few minor problems: it seems to forget the settings for the system tray locale icon, sometimes it refuses to wake up at all and needs to be hard-booted. But the biggest problem is that sleep seems to make it close every running application. If I have a few windows open, and then put the computer to sleep, on waking up all the windows have closed and the applications are not in the task manager.
All this is really hugely frustrating, and any help would be appreciated. Looking around other forums and the internet suggests that several people have problems with sleep and power management in 22.04, but nobody seems to have specifically reported the issue I have with applications closing.
