Stop Going to Sleep When Closing the Laptop

#how_to_disable_lid_on_laptop_in_terminal

• Open Terminal
• type in the command below (as root)

sudo gedit /etc/systemd/logind.conf

• Now the logind.conf file will open in Gedit text editor
• set the variable “HandleLidSwitch” to “ignore”, as in the example below:

[Login]
 #NAutoVTs=6
 #ReserveVT=6
 #KillUserProcesses=no
 #KillOnlyUsers=
 #KillExcludeUsers=root
 #Controllers=
 #ResetControllers=cpu
 #InhibitDelayMaxSec=5
 #HandlePowerKey=poweroff
 #HandleSuspendKey=suspend
 #HandleHibernateKey=hibernate
 HandleLidSwitch=ignore
 #PowerKeyIgnoreInhibited=no
 #SuspendKeyIgnoreInhibited=no
 #HibernateKeyIgnoreInhibited=no
 #LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=yes

• Now reboot

With this change, reboot your system and feel free to close your laptop lid that it will no longer go to sleep. Now you are done!
Enjoy!
