Close laptop lid issues
Method 1: Using GNOME Tweaks First we have to install gnome-tweaks-tool.
sudo apt-get install gnome-tweaks
Then open the gnome-tweaks and follow below steps:
- Go to the General tab in the sidebar
- And toggle off the 'Suspend when laptop lid is closed’ button
Method 2: Change login configuration (for advanced users)
If you look into the content of the file /etc/systemd/logind.conf, you’ll see three different types of default settings for the laptop lid closing.
- HandleLidSwitch: When the laptop is on battery power
- HandleLidSwitchExternalPower: When the laptop is plugged into a power outlet
- HandleLidSwitchDocked: When the laptop is connected to a docking station
If you want, you can change the value of those parameters to one of these as per your preference:
- lock: lock when lid is closed
- ignore: do nothing
- poweroff: shutdown
- hibernate: hibernate when lid is closed
I would suggest going with ignore
Then save the file do a restart.
