For Peppermint 11.6 bullseye - which it is based on Debian - for 32 bits

I want to reach the following behavior:

  • When the laptop's lid is closed, the OS still working (but with the screen as black).

So far I can do this approach for Ubuntu, according to How can I tell Ubuntu to do nothing when I close my laptop lid?, but does not work for Peppermint.

Just in case, the following instructions were applied:

  1. Open the /etc/systemd/logind.conf file
  2. Edit from #HandleLidSwitch=suspend to HandleLidSwitch=ignore
  3. Execute the sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind command
  4. Do login again, if it remains in black with underscore in white: Press Ctrl+C and do login again

Even when restarted the OS, the desired behavior did not work as indicated.  Of course, it worked for Ubuntu, but not for Peppermint – remember both are based on Debian.

How to accomplish this goal?

depending on if you picked the xfce or gnome version of peppermint the steps below are roughly the same

System > Preferences > Power Management On AC Power (On Battery Power) > Actions When laptop lid is closed:Do Nothing
