Computer: Lenovo G570 Laptop
Distro: Xubuntu 14.04 LTS
I'm having problems with closing the lid on my laptop.
I don't want anything to happen when I close the lid. (Other than shutting off the screen obviously.)
So the first thing I did was open Power Manager and set the "When laptop lid is closed:" option to "Nothing" for both "On AC" and "On Battery."
I close the lid and it suspends. When I open the lid, it asks for my username and password. After I enter them, the system resumes, but the screen goes black.
So I opened Light Locker Settings and set "Lock on suspend" to OFF.
It still suspends when closing the lid. Upon resuming, it asks for my login info, and after I enter them, black screen. No change.
So the next thing I did was:
$ sudo aptitude purge light-locker light-locker-settings
Now it doesn't ask me to log in again after closing the lid, so I don't get a black screen after opening the lid back up. However it's still suspending when I close the lid.
The next thing I tried was editing /etc/systemd/logind.conf and changing
#HandleLidSwitch=suspend
to
HandleLidSwitch=ignore
No change. It still suspends when I close the lid. I'm all out of ideas, and searching hasn't turned up anything I haven't already tried. How can I stop it from suspending when I close the lid?
