   Here's what I've done (on a Debian computer, but things should not be too
  different between Debian and Ubuntu). I've modified
/etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh
  and /etc/acpi/events/powerbtn-acpi-support as the attached files.

    There are probably way better ways to do it, but it just works...

       Hope this helps,

        Loïc
