Unable to suspend with lid action

I recently upgraded to ubuntu 22.10, before the upgrade everything was working fine but after upgrading, my laptop doesn't suspend as it should on lid close action

HandleLidSwitch=suspend
HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=suspend
HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore
SuspendKeyIgnoreInhibited=yes
LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=yes

I uncommented above from /etc/systemd/logind.conf but still no effect, I also installed tweaks and used it to suspend on lid close but no luck[uninstalled afterwards].

Result of systemd-inhibit

I have tried various other methods already but none of them working for me

Suspend itself works fine with sudo systemctl suspend

Open a terminal and enter `sudo systemctl suspend`. If you get any error messages copy and [paste the output of this command in your question](https://askubuntu.com/posts/1437537/edit). If it works, [add that information in your question](https://askubuntu.com/posts/1437537/edit).

@user68186 how much of a change is it because of power management software?

I have no idea if it is the power management or something else in the kernel. My guess is, it is a bug in the kernel. I may be wrong.

Is package gnome-power-manager installed? I think the problem is the plugin `gsd-media-keys` from gnome-daemon. Maybe this works in ubuntu too to deactivate this plugin https://forum.zorin.com/t/how-to-disable-media-keys/15104

@nobody I guess issue lies with gsd-media-keys plugin, dconf-editor shows value [''] in various fields. Though it is completely unexplored territory for me. should i remove the plugin entirely? or purge gnome-power-manager and reinstall

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
