Is it possible to stop my laptop going to sleep when I close the lid?GNOME 3.20, Fedora 24.My laptop does not reliably wake from sleep.  (It happens to be a hardware issue... I think I basically killed it while trying to replace a wifi card.  But I want to keep using it for a while longer).
GNOME: disable sleep on lid close
gnome;suspend;laptop
Install GNOME Tweak Tool and go to the Power section.  There's an option to disable the automatic suspend on lid close.Option detailsI compared dconf before and after to find the option, but it turns out that's not how it's implemented.  Instead, Tweak Tool creates ~/.config/autostart/ignore-lid-switch-tweak.desktop.  The autostart is a script which effectively runs systemd-inhibit --what=handle-lid-switch.  So we can see the lid close action is handled purely by systemd-logind.Alternative routeAn alternative would be to edit /etc/systemd/logind.conf to include:HandleLidSwitch=ignoreThis would work all the time, not just when your user is logged in.
