[SOLVED] Xfce - PowerManager - Sleep on AC

I set "Laptop Lid" option for "On Battery" to "Lock Screen" and "Plugged In" to "Switch off display"
when i close laptop on battery it goes to sleep and when open it, it show lockscreen and it is ok
when i close laptop plugged in it goes to sleep (and i dont want it) and when open it, it is not showinf lockscreen and it is ok

I found a solution to uncomment and edit this file:

/etc/systemd/logind.conf

HandleLidSwitch=ignore

but it couse no sleep on battery too! i want sleep on battery but no sleep when plugged in, is there any other way?

here is a bug report that i looked at and think it is the same problem:

logind-handle-lid-switch is already false in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml

here is my config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<channel name="xfce4-power-manager" version="1.0">
  <property name="xfce4-power-manager" type="empty">
    <property name="brightness-switch-restore-on-exit" type="int" value="0"/>

That's odd. If logind-handle-lid-switch is false then what you do to logind.conf shouldn't have an effect. Are you certain the xfce4-power-manager is running?

pgrep xfce4-power-manager

should return a pid if it is.

there is no xfce4-power-manager running but it is xfce4-power-man!

pgrep xfce4-power-man

Re: [SOLVED] Xfce - PowerManager - Sleep on AC

Uncommenting and changing this line in /etc/systemd/logind.conf solved my problem

LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=no
