Close Laptop Lid Confiuration. How?

[leegold]

Hi,

Using Lubuntu 10.10. When I close my Laptop (pull the screen/lid down to close it) it goes into a standby mode where I must press my now blinking on/off button to restart it.

I want to have it so my laptop stays on. The screen by default will probably turn off (that seems hardwired into the hardware) but other than that I want control over this.

Most flavors of Unbuntu easily have control over this by GUI menus but I don't see any way in Lubuntu. Is there a way?

Thanks

Left click the battery icon and select properties. It's just gnome-power-manager

Unfortunately Lubuntu does not use Gnome AFAIK.

It uses the gnome-power-manager. I know, because I have it open in front of me

menu/preferences/desktop session settings/automatically started applications/
check (enable) Power Manager / OK
Reboot
On Lubuntu Lucid 10.04 there are no working shortcuts to open gnome-power-preferences or gnome-power-statistics
Start gnome-power-preferences from lxterminal or menu/run
General tab, tick Always display an icon
The applet will appear next to the network manager in the system tray area of lxpanel. Clicking the icon will open gnome-power-preferences.
AC Power tab/Actions/When laptop lid is closed
Menu Shortcuts:
There is a /usr/share/applications/gnome-power-preferences.desktop
Comment out this line:
#OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE:
menu/Preferences/Power Management appears
To make gnome-power-statistics.desktop just copy/rename gnome-power-preferences.desktop
Edit EXEC=gnome-power-statistics and Name=Power Statistics
