Re: Network dies on laptop lid closure

[Sylvia Sánchez <lailahfsf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have the same but I just don't close the lid and let it working alone. I mean, if it hibernates or even if it suspends, of course wifi will be turned off. So your options are not hibernating/suspending the computer or not closing the lid.

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Sylvia

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!
