For all those who have no success editing /etc/systemd/logind.conf or found that rm ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power- manager.xml only works temporarily, I had success using gksudo gedit /etc/UPower/UPower.conf and then setting IgnoreLid=true.
A second work around is to hit ctrl+alt+f1, sign in using your username (lower-case) and password, then enter sudo restart lightdm, followed by your password again (some times this has to be done all with a pitch black screen) Not ideal I know but is the best solution i've found. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1307545 Title: Power Manager settings are ignored when closing laptop lid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1307545/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
