I'm using archlinux. It never auto-suspend before a recent system upgrade(maybe I updated the kernel?).

I think it is related to laptop-mode or acpid, so I stop them:

/etc/rc.d/laptop-mode stop
/etc/rc.d/acpid stop

I also edit /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf:

ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE_TOOLS=0

Then I edit /etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh, commented out the last line:

# /usr/sbin/laptop_mode auto

But all of above don't work. Following lines were found in /var/log/kernel.log(unrelated lines omitted):

I think this is not caused by pm-susend, because /var/log/pm-suspend.log don't log anything.

I don't want my laptop go to sleep when I close the lid. How to do it?

Kernel version: 3.6.2-1-ARCH

I was just about to ask this myself when your question popped up in "Questions that may already have your answer." It did. Thanks. – cjm Nov 11 '12 at 1:04

Edit /etc/systemd/logind.conf and make sure you have,

HandleLidSwitch=ignore

which will make it ignore the lid being closed. (You may need to also undo the other changes you've made).

Full details over at the archlinux Wiki.
