Re: systemd process(es) consuming CPU when laptop lid closed
<Top posting intentionally>
There was a recent thread where the symptom, in one sense, was somewhat
similar--on a two CPU system, one CPU was using 100% of one CPU with the lid
closed. IIUC, the problem was due to lightdm-gt (or some sub-program).
Here are the headers from the last message in that thread:

Maybe it is worth looking at that thread.
