I am having issues with my HP pavilion laptop that is running Linux Lite 2.0
When I close the laptop lid, the screen will hibernate. I don't want this.
I have changed actions that the laptop is supposed to do then the lid is closd in the settings GUI to ignore but the screen still goes black when the lid is closed.
From what I have read, I am supposed to do the following
1) open a terminal window
2) type " sudo leafpad /ect/system/logind.conf
3) find the line #HandleLidSwitch=(whatever value is in there now)
4) removed the # and change it to HandleLidSwitch=ignore
5) save the file and restart the computer
Does this sound correct?
I am very new to Linux and the command tool
I use the sudo Leafpad enrty because Linux Lite comes with Leafpad as the text editor correct? I woulkd use sudo gedit if gedit was installed on Linux lite 2.0 , but I don't think it is.
Any help would be appreciated
