Disable Sleep/Hibernate when closing laptop

[mpace58]

I have Tumbleweed running in server/text mode. When I close the lid on my laptop it goes into sleep/hibernation mode. Is there something I can do to prevent this? It is a Lenovo thinkpad. I had looked through the BIOS and I do not find a setting for this. I know it can be done, as I was originally running Win7 on this laptop and I could turn off hibernation mode in the power settings. I looked at TLP and Laptop Mode tools, and if it’s in there, it’s not obvious.

Thank you.

Hi and Welcome to the Forum
You can set this by editing the file /etc/systemd/logind.conf and unrem/change the lid switch to ignore;

HandleLidSwitch=ignore

That worked.

Thank you very much.
