Title:
  suspends after a few minutes on machines with a bogus (closed) lid
  switch

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in systemd source package in Vivid:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  On a desktop machine which claims to have a closed lid (on the
  motherboard), but doesn't actually have a lid, logind will suspend the
  machine shortly after boot as a safety measure to avoid burning your
  laptop in a bag. This is wrong in the above situation where the
  announced lid switch does not exist or isn't actually closed.

  Workaround: Set HandleLidSwitch=ignore in /etc/systemd/logind.conf
