disable suspend when I close the laptop lid

I would like to disable suspend when I close the laptop lid.

/etc/acpi/events/lm_lid

Code:

event=button[ /]lid
action=/etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh %e

/etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh

Code:

#! /bin/sh

test -f /usr/sbin/laptop_mode || exit 0

# lid button pressed/released event handler

/usr/sbin/laptop_mode auto

Following this logic in those files I thought I could edit something obvious in a text file but I don not see any options to disable this behavior. I think laptop-mode.conf file might contain a lsoution but I am unsure after looking at it contents.

Thanks

Try this in /etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh

Code:

#! /bin/sh

test -f /usr/sbin/laptop_mode || exit 0

# lid button pressed/released event handler

# /usr/sbin/laptop_mode auto

kzutter, I tried that but when I close the lid the laptop still goes to sleep. I think something else might be executing a command when the lid closes.

I am using KDE desktop.

Look in KDE's power management settings?

AlucardZero, thanks I right clicked on that icon with the battery or electric power icon on it. It is called KPowersave, Configure KPowerSave, General Setting, Button Events, Lid Close Button on the drop down I choose an empty field. Now everything is fine.

Thanks.

It's gnome-power-manager in Gnome, glad you found the KDE equivalent.
