Hi guys,

My linux is Bodhi linux 5.1.0, and my laptop is Lenovo Yoga 300.

As the title says, my laptop goes into sleep state whenever I close the lid. I don't want that, so I tried to change the power settings. But the linux does not provide detailed power setting options and almost no power setting options tool on Google does not work. I tried acpi bindings, key bindings, tlp, xconfig(something like that?) etc. And none of them work.

I am okay with one of both options.
(1) changing the action which linked with the action 'lid close'
(2) completely disable suspend or sleep mode (Hibernate is okay)

Thank you in advance!

the default acpi binding on my bodhi 5.1.0 systems is set to suspend. you say you "tried acpi bindings", but what did you try? did you set it to some other action or delete the binding?

It is true, and I wanted to change it. I changed the acpi setting in the Settings>Settings Panel>Input>ACPI bindings. First, I tried to change XF86 something, and it did not work. I changed 'suspend' from something else but it did not work. So I deleted all the bindings but all the bindings still alive with the default settings.

Disabling ACPI is acceptable to me. May I ask the ACPI settings file location in Bodhi linux? That will be good enough for me.

check out this thread:

or this one might give you an idea:

Good luck!

that link looks like it might have some helpful guidance. i will note that acpid is not installed by default on my bodhi machines so i'm not sure about that part.

i don't know a whole lot about the acpi settings or configuration file locations. i will attempt to do some looking around on my systems here in a bit.

if it doesn't feel like you are getting the results you are looking for, i believe you can click on the "report" button at the bottom of your first post and request that it be moved to the bodhi forum here where the developers and possibly other bodhi users with more acpi experience are more likely to see it. or bodhi just recently opened its own forum if you want to try there.

i also tried changing the action of lid suspend to a couple o different things (open a menu and launch a program), but neither of those worked. deleting the lid closed acpi binding also did not stop my system from suspending when i closed the lid. i did not reboot between all of those changes since key bindings don't require a reboot. i suppose that might have been a helpful thing to try...

however, i read a bit on this link:

and the easiest option i saw in this post that might also be something i could try on my system was:
the default for my system was #HandleLidSwitch=suspend so i removed the # to uncomment the entry and changed suspend to ignore making it look like the entry above.

after a reboot, my system now does not suspend when i shut the lid. of course if you ever want the lid to trigger an action you would need to adjust that, but hopefully it will get your system to stop suspending when you shut the lid

I think in this case it makes sense to install a power manager that can handle this.
xfce4-power-manager works without other XFCE components, and can do what OP wants.
It might require additional command line tinkering if it doesn't work ootb, but only once - then OP has a nice gui to change various settings according to current needs.

There was a simple solution for this

>> sudo systemctl mask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target

Thank all for your help!
