If you are a beginner of Ubuntu and need expert guidance during usage, pay attention to this site. We have written hundreds of Ubuntu tutorials to help you get started. From Ubuntu installation to basic system settings, we are all involved.

This simple tutorial introduces you to what you should do when the notebook lid is closed, instead of going to sleep mode or shutting down directly.

Most modern operating systems, including Windows, sleep when their laptops are closed. This is also true for Ubuntu. If you want to keep your laptop Lid closed, follow us.

To achieve this goal, Ubuntu has two methods. The first is to openSystem Settings-> Power(The Chinese version is openSystem settings-> Power Supply), And then set. Some user settings will not take effect.

Another way is to directly edit the Login Manager configuration file (Logind. conf). This method can basically take effect. We recommend that you use this method.

Start. PressCtrl-Alt-TKey combination to open the terminal. Run the following command to open the logind. conf file. All your modifications are in this file.

sudo gedit /etc/systemd/logind.conf

After opening the file, modify the following line:

#HandleLidSwitch=suspend

Changed to this:

HandleLidSwitch=ignore

Save the file and restart the Login Manager Service:

sudo restart systemd-logind

Work completed!

The "ignore" value in the configuration file tells Ubuntu not to sleep or stop when the notebook is closed. Do not change other settings and save the file.
