How can I tell Ubuntu 18.04 to do nothing when I close my laptop lid?

Question

Power Change options in dconf-editor

I want my laptop to do nothing when I close the laptop lid. I found these options in dconf-editor for the laptop to do 'nothing'. However, the laptop still goes to suspended mode after I close the lid.

What did go wrong?

Solution

Install gnome-tweaks

sudo apt-get install gnome-tweaks

and invoke it with

gnome-tweaks

Under the menu Power you can disable Suspend when laptop lid is closed.

This did not work for me. But this did work: tipsonubuntu.com/2018/04/28/…

It works, and the command to install gnome-tweaks is also right. But the application command to invoke it is not gnome-tweaks, it should be "Tweaks". My Ubuntu version is 18.04.
