I'm running Fedora 26 on a slightly old HP laptop using KDE. One minor irritation is that whenever I close the lid of the laptop, the network turns off -- both wifi and wired.
I do a lot of downloads. I like to start one, close the lid, and set the machine aside while I do other tasks. But I can't, because the network turns off. A quick search using Google indicates that this is a recurrent issue. The solutions I've tried are; 1) Use the power management GUI in KDE system settings to set "Button events handling -> When laptop lid closed -> Do nothing" This stopped the machine from going into hibernation, but the network still turned off. 2) Edited /etc/systemd/logind-conf to set HandleLidSwitch=ignore and, when that didnt' work after reboot, I added: 3) LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=no even though I'm not sure what that does. That didn't work either. Any help would be appreciated. This was an issue with Fedora 25, too, but not Fedora 24. I never got around to dealing with it in 25 because of time issues. Thanks! billo _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
