I’m trying to use my FW13AMD with Fedora Linux in docked mode, i.e. lid closed, external monitor, keyboard and mouse etc. but every time I close the lid it immediately sleeps, and I’m unable to wake it with the keyboard or mouse. I’ve seen posts about this working under windows, so am I missing something? There didn’t seem to be any relevant settings in Gnome Settings
This is how i use it on my arch system.
Modifying Logind Configuration
Edit the logind.conf File:
Open a terminal.
Type
sudo nano /etc/systemd/logind.conf(you can replace nano with your preferred text editor).You might need to enter your password.
Modify the
HandleLidSwitchSetting:In the logind.conf file, look for the line
#HandleLidSwitch=suspend.Remove the
#at the beginning of the line to uncomment it.Change suspend to ignore. So it should look like this:
HandleLidSwitch=ignore.Save the file and exit the text editor (Ctrl + O, Enter, and then Ctrl + X for nano).
Restart systemd-logind Service:
In the terminal, type
sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind.This will apply the changes without needing to reboot.
