Preventing Laptop From Sleeping When Lid Closed?
How can I prevent the laptop from sleeping when the lid is closed. I tried messing with the settings in gnome-power-preferences but that doesn’t seem to prevent it when no one is logged in. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Dave

With C7 that is caused by systemd.
Somewhere in /etc/systemd/logind.conf there is a option about “suspend” or “lid”
“grep Lid /etc/systemd/logind.conf” gives:
logind.conf:#HandleLidSwitch=suspend logind.conf:#HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore logind.conf:#LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=yes
“man 5 logind.conf” for further info on defaults and how to configure.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that this is with CentOS 6.4.
