Disable sleep when laptop lid is closed

[Rijkaard]

Hello guys I need to disable sleep when the laptop lid is closed.


I've tried with gnome-power-manager but it is not installed

root@ko:~# gnome-
gnome-calculator             gnome-session
gnome-character-map          gnome-session-fallback
gnome-contacts               gnome-session-properties
gnome-control-center         gnome-session-quit
gnome-desktop-item-edit      gnome-settings-daemon
gnome-dictionary             gnome-shell
gnome-file-share-properties  gnome-shell-extension-prefs
gnome-font-viewer            gnome-shell-extension-tool
gnome-help                   gnome-sound-applet
gnome-keyring                gnome-sound-recorder
gnome-keyring-3              gnome-system-log
gnome-keyring-daemon         gnome-system-log-pkexec
gnome-menus-blacklist        gnome-system-monitor
gnome-open                   gnome-terminal
gnome-panel                  gnome-terminal.wrapper
gnome-power-statistics       gnome-text-editor
gnome-screensaver            gnome-thumbnail-font
gnome-screensaver-command    gnome-wm
gnome-screenshot             gnome-www-browser
root@ko:~# gnome-power-manager
-bash: gnome-power-manager: command not found

and when I try to install it I get the following output

root@ko:~# apt-get install gnome-power-manager
Reading package lists... Done

gnome-power-manager is already the newest version.

Any help would be appreciated.

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-action nothing

or for while on battery power

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-battery-action nothing

or install gnome-tweak-tool

My first script.

touch no-suspend-lid-shut
leafpad no-suspend lid-shut

enter following into leafpad

!#/usr/bin
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-action nothing | gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-battery-action nothing

Now save and exit leafpad.

mv no-suspend-lid-shut /usr/bin/no-suspend-lid-shut

chmod +x no-suspend-lid-shut

now click on Applications -> System Tools --> Preferences --> Startup Applications

Name : no-suspend-lid-shut
command : /usr/bin/no-suspend-lid-shut
Comment : your choice :-)

Enjoy so you dont have to type it every time you boot :-)

Hi Reaperz73, I tried this but when I close my lid it still goes into sleep mode. I really need to be able to close the lid and have my laptop stay on to do automated stuff for work. Is there any more code I could try? Thanks.
