I just edited /etc/systemd/logind.conf to ignore lid close, as opposed to suspend, which seems to have worked. But now when I close the lid my external monitor goes to sleep. The system is still running though - if I move the mouse the monitor wakes up immediately.

Why is this happening?

  • What have you changed in `logind.conf`? – Yaron Mar 19 '17 at 15:55

  • @Yaron I added `HandleLidSwitch=ignore` and `HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore` as per the top answer in your link. I shouldn't have stopped there -- three answers down there was another solution that fixed my monitor problem. Thanks! http://askubuntu.com/a/742662/428527 – Andreas Mar 19 '17 at 21:33
