I'm running Fedora 15 Gnome on a laptop. I can't seem to find an option to toggle if the laptop goes to sleep when the lid closes. There are certain times where I want to put the laptop away or close it but still have it do some crunching on some long running task

Is there a place to toggle this option?

Gnome Tweak Tool allows you to change that.

This worked for me, just run the command as superuser. For GNOME, this is now handled by systemd in Fedora 18+.

As root, edit /etc/systemd/logind.conf. You're looking for the definition for HandleLidSwitch, it may be commented out.

Modified Command : sudo gedit /etc/systemd/logind.conf You could also change dir to the folder be for running the code.

$ cd /etc/systemd
$ sudo gedit logind.conf

The default is: HandleLidSwitch=suspend

You can set it to ignore, poweroff, reboot, halt, suspend, hibernate, hybrid-sleep, lock or kexec. Since your laptop screen is broken, you just want to set it to ignore, so add this to /etc/systemd/logind.conf:

HandleLidSwitch=ignore

Then, run systemctl restart systemd-logind, or simply reboot for it to take effect.
From : Preventing lid close suspension

Uncomment by deleting the # by the command. Then change suspend to ignore.
