  <title>Why does my computer turn off when I close the lid?</title>

  <p>When you close the lid of your laptop, your computer will
  <link xref="power-suspend"><em>suspend</em></link> in order to save power.
  This means that the computer is not actually turned off — it has just gone to
  sleep. You can resume it by opening the lid. If it does not resume, try
  clicking the mouse or pressing a key. If that still does not work, press the
  power button.</p>

  <p>Some computers are unable to suspend properly, normally because their
  hardware is not completely supported by the operating system (for example,
  the Linux drivers are incomplete). In this case, you may find that you are
  unable to resume your computer after you have closed the lid. You can try to
  <link xref="power-suspendfail">fix the problem with suspend</link>, or you
  can prevent the computer from trying to suspend when you close the lid.</p>

  <note style="important">
    <p>These instructions will only work if you are using <app>systemd</app>.
    Contact your distribution for more information.</p>
  </note>

  <note style="important">
    <p>You need to have <app>Tweaks</app> installed on your computer to
    change this setting.</p>
    <if:if xmlns:if="http://projectmallard.org/if/1.0/" test="action:install">
      <p><link style="button" action="install:gnome-tweaks">Install

    </if:if>
  </note>

  <p>If you do not want the computer to suspend when you close the lid, you can
  change the setting for that behavior.</p>

  <note style="warning">
    <p>Be very careful if you change this setting. Some laptops can overheat
    if they are left running with the lid closed, especially if they are in
    a confined place like a backpack.</p>
