temojen's Journal: "clamshell mode" on Kubuntu notebook

I was having trouble with my Kubuntu netbook... I use it at work as a portable network tester/console router/manual viewer, etc and frequently have to move from place to place while useing it, but closing it put it to hibernate (slow to suspend and wake up) and changes in "system settings" had no effect.

This line did the magic:

sudo mv /etc/acpi/lid.sh /etc/acpi/lid.sh.notrun

Also, I changed the power button to suspend to RAM.

It's also handy for use at home with an external K/V/M as I can clamshell it and work on the big monitor. With these changes, I'll likely start using it a lot more as I really prefer Konqueror/Kate for web development (due to kioslaves), and it's even quieter than my mac mini.

It won't sleep or hibernate if the SD card is mounted... which sux bigtime since the SD is way faster than the SSD.
