How to modify event that occurs when a laptop is closed?












1















I have Acer Aspire laptop with Kubuntu 16.04 installed on it. (KDE dekstop).



Currently when I close laptop it goes into weird suspend mode. It is not possible to wake it up. Only way is to force reset.



I am looking for any way to modify event that occurs when a laptop is closed. Either via GUI or terminal.

          There are two GUI ways to achieve the desired result.



          Description




          1. Per Energy Saving tab: System Settings > Power Management > Energy Saving > On AC Power (or another tab) > Button Event Handling > When laptop lid closed, and choose desired action.

          2. Setting per KDE Activity: System Settings > Power Management > Activity Settings > Your chosen Activity name, choose radio-button Use separate settings (advanced users only) and select the desired action in Button Event Handling > When laptop lid closed.


          I would like to use Activity settings, because it allows to add more flexibility (of course, if you use different KDE Activities for different tasks).
