How to avoid turning off Ubuntu Laptop with the lid closed

#linux #tutorial #ubuntu #debian

Summary

  • My laptops running Debian based distributions (Kubuntu and Peppermint OS) get suspended when I closed the lid after logging out ( = I guess the setting for KDE gets disregarded).

Solution 

/etc/systemd/logind.conf
======
HandleLidSwitch=ignore
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
