i was annoyed when systemd did a hostile takeover of power management on my little debian laptop last year (largely because it caused a shutdown in the middle of the ssh apt-get upgrade that installed the version of systemd that perpetrated the takeover, and made it impossible to remotely fix the problem)....but when i figured out what the problem was (systemd taking over power mgmt) it wasn't hard to disable it. the solution is to edit /etc/systemd/logind.conf and change it to have: HandleLidSwitch=ignore i have NFI why systemd's authors think that handling the lid switch has *anything* at all to do with logind and i would have preferred systemd not take over power mgmt at all, but it was pretty easy to undo the damage in this particular case. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
