Where can I set the option for when I close de lid?

Asked by Kurono

I'm using Frey Beta and I want to set the action for when I close the lid.
It's kind of annoying it hibernates every time I close the lid, I want to set it to "do nothing".

Do this:
Download dconf Editor : sudo apt-get install dconf-editor
Open dconf-Editor: Then go to Org > Gnome > Settings-Daemon > Plugins > Power.
lid-close-ac-action : suspend (default) > double click on the word suspend to change.
lid-close-battery-action : suspend (default) > double click on the word suspend to change

According to this post it worked http://elementaryos.org/answers/how-to-configure-the-behavior-when-closing-the-lid-of-my-laptop-freya

Do you not see this in the power settings in switchboard? I thought it was supposed to be there.

Hi cameron,

No it is not there in the power settings plug.
as marek solved it. In my experience this is the only way.

Ah it is a deprecated key - https://code.launchpad.net/~alucryd/switchboard-plug-power/fix-1279689/+merge/208943

I do wonder what the alternative to it is... logind? That is not ideal because it is system wide.
