stop suspend on NON-X system

[Karl Auer]

Hi there.

I have a netbook running as a server. I installed the desktop version of
Ubuntu 14.04-1 and have disabled lightdm using an override file
in /etc/init. This machine thus runs WITHOUT X and WITHOUT EVER STARTING
X. Important points.

What I want to do is prevent this machine from suspending or hibernating
when I close the lid. At the moment, when I close the lid the system
suspends to RAM.

Any ideas? I've found lots of stuff, but it is all X-related, outdated,
or doesn't work. The most promising was some entries
under /etc/polkit-1, but the suggested incantation did not work.

Has anyone here got an idea how this might be achieved?

Thanks, K.

PS: The netbook has no BIOS setting controlling suspend on lid.

PPS: The X settings - from before I disabled lightdm - did successfully
stop the system from suspending when the lid was closed. However, X was
running at those times.
