So i was trying to figure out the actions of my laptop's lid without going in a deep mode terminal way again..., after a long search nothing seemed to be working..., tried several tools but none of them were actually changing the action of the lid.
So after some days i came accross the gnome-tweak-tool which i've already used in the past and now turns out to be really helpful...
Under Shell you should be able to find:
'Laptop lid close action on battery'
'Laptop lid close action when on AC'
Again, this is a bug found in some hardware, if you haven't found the option in the menu then try this.
apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool | gnome-tweak-tool
Under Shell you should be able to find:
'Laptop lid close action on battery'
'Laptop lid close action when on AC'

You can actually go into the dconf editor

>System Tools
>dconf Editor)
Then (+)org
(+)gnome
(+)settings-daemon, then under there is power. In there you can adjust all the lid actions.
It's fixed on 1.1 :)
ReplyDeleteI set both to do nothing, even restarted but it is not working for me. I close the lid and the screen blanks. I then have to type my password in again... thoughts?
ReplyDeleteAre you running the latest 1.0.6? the repositories for gnome-tweak-tool are not listed anymore in 1.0.6, you should add them manually to the sources.list to obtain the latest gnome-tweak-tool.
DeleteAll updates, including dist-upgrade have been done. Same issue.
ReplyDeleteMy laptop only has and HDMI out. Could that be the issue?
Bump.
DeleteRemove gnome-tweak-tool, purge.
DeleteThen try to re-install it and re-config it, see if it's going to find the repos, if it does, you're not on the latest version, since gtt is removed in the latest repo (as i've seen). if it doesn't, you should add the latest repos back in the sources.list. Post back for more....
What are the latest repos?
ReplyDeleteHere you are.
Deletehttp://docs.kali.org/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories
My repos match the link you gave me and it was able to find it. I installed it, reboot and made changes to the settings. I then closed the lid... and it blanked the connected monitor. I wonder if this is an issue with linux and HDMI.
ReplyDeletewhy lid option not working in kali linux 2.0
ReplyDeleteDid anyone succeed in removing power off / hibernate while closing lid
