Somewhere in /etc/systemd/logind.conf there is a option about "suspend" or "lid" "grep Lid /etc/systemd/logind.conf" gives: logind.conf:#HandleLidSwitch=suspend logind.conf:#HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore logind.conf:#LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=yes "man 5 logind.conf" for further info on defaults and how to configure. - Yamaban.
