Prevent wi-fi to turn off when laptop's lid is closed

  • 772

even though I set in the settings when the laptop is on AC to do nothing when the lid is closed, I also selected on gnome-tweak-tool to not suspend but, the wireless still turns off.

How can I make the Wi-Fi working with the lid closed, on AC? I'm on Ubuntu 17.10

power-management wireless internet

  1. There is a tool missing in the default setup named GNOME Tweaks. This option sets the one you want to disable. The suspend is what kills the wifi.

    enter image description here

    Command line method:

    Do nothing when on battery:

    gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-battery-action blank

    Do nothing when on power:

    gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-action blank
