Ubuntu 9.10 "Do Nothing" Laptop Lid Closed

For anyone wondering how to force Ubuntu to "Do Nothing" when closing the lid of a laptop.

The option does not exist in Power Management Preferences.

So...

In a terminal (Applications-->Accessories-->Terminal), type: gconf-editor

Navigate to apps-->gnome-power-manager-->buttons and set lid_ac and/or lid_battery to "nothing" (without the quotes).

    the brainfuckers designing gnome3 removed that option, again, from the power settings... do they ever learn? ...they should have a gnome-history-101 class before being able to suggest a gnome design... anyway... here's the gconf solution:

    org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.lid-close-ac-action="nothing"

    org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power.lid-close-battery-action="nothing"

    These portable PCs are somewhat pricier than the netbooks, however the execution in this class unquestionably compensates for it. pads

    While these laptops are not custom gaming laptops, you can see what the sizes really look like, what different resolutions look like, and what the viewing angles truly are so you can start to develop your own preferences. Laptop Tube
