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.
