How to stop Xubuntu from falling asleep on lid close

  • 772

I'm on a current Xubuntu LTS, but this problem has annoyed me for years, and i just didn't say anything about it.

Using notebooks and often using an external monitor to watch films, porn, etc i would like to have an ability to close the lid of the monitor and for the notebook monitor to be just turnt off, and not some sort of sleep/hibernate/turn off action.

Can it be easily done? If so then how?

xubuntu
