Disable suspend on lid-close without reloading systemd-logind [Solved]

Is there a way to disable suspend on lid-close without reloading Logind? I need to do it without having to shutdown xserver.

You should be able to block lid-switch handling with something like

$ systemd-inhibit --what=handle-lid-switch sleep 365d

Hmmm, I'm using Cinnamon with its power management settings for lid closed set to "do nothing", systemd logind options set to suspend.

I issued the command

systemd-inhibit --what=handle-lid-switch sleep 365d

and closed the lid but the laptop suspended anyway. Any idea why?

logind doesn't respect inhibit on the lid switch by default. man logind.conf

Also, please don't necrobump, marmistrz.

Closing.
