[nmglug] Hibernate failure

[Wesley Robbins]

Meant this to send this too. I like being able to decide what lid
closing does.

systemctl unmask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target
hybrid-sleep.target

sudo nano /etc/systemd/logind.conf

modify #HandleLidSwitch=suspend,


   - HandleLidSwitch=poweroff computer shuts down when lid is closed
   - HandleLidSwitch=hibernate Computer sleeps when lid is closed
   - HandleLidSwitch=suspend computer hangs when lid is closed
   - HandleLidSwitch=ignore does nothing

sysrmctl daemon-reload

systemctl restart systemd-loginrestart .
