Hi,
I have a really weird problem. When I install Zorin on my Asus Zenbook duo, everything seems to work fine, but when I close the lid or press the power button to go into suspend mode (I think) the second monitor won't turn off and the laptop gets hot and warm. I have the last NVidia driver update, the last Zorin update, and the last update of everything. There's nothing in the BIOS like "Sleep Mode" so I can't change any of those settings. I've given it to local IT support to check if I have any hardware issues, but they haven't found anything.
Can anyone help me or has at least the same problem?

# Enable the Watts Up Pro device.
#
# The Watts Up Pro contains a generic FTDI USB device without a specific
# vendor and product ID. When we probe for WUP devices, we can cause
# the user to get a perplexing "Device or resource busy" error when
# attempting to use their non-WUP device.
#
# The generic FTDI device is known to also be used on:
#
# - Sparkfun FT232 breakout board
# - Parallax Propeller
#
# default=false
EnableWattsUpPro=false
# Don't poll the kernel for battery level changes.
#
# Some hardware will send us battery level changes through
# events, rather than us having to poll for it. This option
# allows disabling polling for hardware that sends out events.
#
# default=false
NoPollBatteries=false
# Do we ignore the lid state
#
# Some laptops are broken. The lid state is either inverted, or stuck
# on or off. We can't do much to fix these problems, but this is a way
# for users to make the laptop panel vanish, a state that might be used
# by a couple of user-space daemons. On Linux systems, see also
# logind.conf(5).
#
# default=false
IgnoreLid=false
# Policy for warnings and action based on battery levels
#
# Whether battery percentage based policy should be used. The default
# is to use the time left, change to true to use the percentage, which
# should work around broken firmwares. It is also more reliable than
# the time left (frantically saving all your files is going to use more
# battery than letting it rest for example).
# default=true
UsePercentageForPolicy=true
# When UsePercentageForPolicy is true, the levels at which UPower will
# consider the battery low, critical, or take action for the critical
# battery level.
#
# This will also be used for batteries which don't have time information
# such as that of peripherals.
#
# If any value is invalid, or not in descending order, the defaults
# will be used.
#
# Defaults:
# PercentageLow=10
# PercentageCritical=3
# PercentageAction=2
PercentageLow=10
PercentageCritical=3
PercentageAction=2
# When UsePercentageForPolicy is false, the time remaining at which UPower
# will consider the battery low, critical, or take action for the critical
# battery level.
#
# If any value is invalid, or not in descending order, the defaults
# will be used.
#
# Defaults:
# TimeLow=1200
# TimeCritical=300
# TimeAction=120
TimeLow=1200
TimeCritical=300
TimeAction=120
# The action to take when "TimeAction" or "PercentageAction" above has been
# reached for the batteries (UPS or laptop batteries) supplying the computer
#
# Possible values are:
# PowerOff
# Hibernate
# HybridSleep
#
# If HybridSleep isn't available, Hibernate will be used
# If Hibernate isn't available, PowerOff will be used
CriticalPowerAction=HybridSleep

Change this value in /etc/UPower/UPower.conf to IgnoreLid=true
I realize this seems counter-intuitive but...
In /etc/systemd/logind.conf
On this one (/etc/systemd/logind.conf), change the value to "no" and also remove the (#) at the front (The hashtag at front tells the system to ignore that line and you do not want that line ignroed) so that it is looks just like: LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=no
Gaining Root access:
You have two options. Use the Terminal Text Editor elevated to root (easiest):
sudo nano /etc/UPower/UPower.conf
Change the "ignoreLid" value, then once done, tap ctrl+x to exit the editor, the y key to say yes to save, then the enter key to save current configuration.
Repeat that for:
sudo nano /etc/systemd/logind.conf
The GUI Option:
Elevate to root in terminal
sudo -i
Then in the elevated terminal prompt, launch your file manager
nautilus
Navigate to "Other Locations > Computer", then to the paths outlined above.
/etc/UPower/ then right click on UPower.conf and open with Text editor. Be sure to Save The File after making changes.
Then to the path /etc/systemd/ and right click on logind.conf and repeat as above, being sure to save the file before closing it.
In the elevated terminal, exit root, then close out the terminal and elevated File manager.
The values are changed, but the problem is still the same.
After closing the lid, the laptop seems to go into suspend mode, but the second screen is backlit.
When I wake the laptop up, everything starts running fine.
