  • In Keep laptop on when lid is closed

    I ended up solving my own issue - I just needed to create the logind.conf file at the appropriate place and add a line to it. Thanks for your help though.

    • In Keep laptop on when lid is closed

      I have just installed Solus OS Budgie 4.4, due to wanting to try the Budgie desktop and after the announcement of the upcoming lack of support for the Mate desktop that I was using previously, I figured now is a good time to try it. I typically use my laptop connected to an external monitor with HDMI, and have the laptop lid closed. I am having trouble figuring out how to do this with the Budgie version, however.

      Troubleshooting steps already attempted:

      1. Use default power application (does not have option for this)
      2. Install gnome-tweaks (does not have access to power settings)
      3. Edit /etc/systemd/logind.conf (file does not seem to exist by default, I used ls -a, is this wrong?)
