Im trying to get my MSI GE70 2PE to run when laptop lid is closed. I set the Power management setting to 'do nothing' and did the same in gnome-tweak-tools. It didnt work.
I found a solution by editing /etc/systemd/logind.conf and setting HandleLidSwitch=ignore. Now the computer runs fine(I have external monitor plugged in).
However my wifi connection drops everytime I close the lid. the only way to turn it on again is by opening the lid and turning wifi off and then on again.
Im running mint 17 quiana cinnamon on a 64 bit machine.
Anyone knows how to solve this?
