Folks
I have a laptop which i am using temporarily as a test server. It is permanently plugged in. It is running Centos 6, command line only. In the past, I could close the lid, thereby turning off the display, but not turning off the machine. It remained running indefinitely.
A recent update (this past week) changed that behavior. Now, when I close the lid, the laptop turns itself off within an hour.
A google search talks about tools like "upower" and apcitool, but a "yum search" does not locate them.
Is there a way to revert back to the previous behavior?
Thanks
David

Sure that no X11/Gnome stuff got onto the system?

LF: Yes, lots of stuff just in case I want to run a GUI for giggles. The gnome stuff was present even with the earlier behavior. Is there some setting I can adjust?

At a guess that's the Automatic Suspend option.
In the GUI. Go to Settings. Then Power. Scroll to the bottom. Click on 'Automatic Suspend'. You get a popup. Make sure "Plugged In" is set to off.
There is probably a corresponding gsettings option that you could hunt down.
Hope this helps.

a laptop makes a nice 24/7/365 server.
using 'extend battery pack' or 'oem' pack?
A recent update (this past week) changed that behavior. Now, when I close the lid, the laptop turns itself off within an hour.
you need a battery manager/monitor program to set up lid switch.
or use a 'script' to switch.
any settings in bios config?

yum knows where to 'look for what' in directory /etc/yum.repos.d
have a look at: http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/ then read: http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq

get a battery manager, do not 'roll back'.
questions:: make/model? oem manual?
