MX 23.5 How do I change / disable ACPI settings (LID0) ?

I'm running 23.5 on a Macbook Air and have problems with the system immediately waking from Suspend. Seems that this is a known problem and is due to some issues around the lid sensing in ACPI.
Here's an example, there are plenty more:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comment ... ?rdt=59574
I can get around the problem by disabling LID0 within the ACPI settings by issuing the following:
Doing so, will prevent the lid sensing and the system will stay suspended until the power button is pressed.
The problem is that the above will not persist after a reboot. The suggested fix for this is to add a service to SystemD but as MX does not use SystemD this won't work AFIK.
Anyone know where I can tweak the ACPI settings?
Thanks

So, start MX Boot Options and in the kernel parameters add the following ( space first if there are other entries )
click apply and then reboot. I believe that will do what your after (ie turning off acpi ) and you should be able to run that in both sysvinit and systemd

That looks like a fairly radical change. What other things will be disabled / affected by turning off ACPI?

It is and I am not sure what all it affects. There are many articles out there about using it, some appear to be good, some not so good, and it *may not* be something you want to run normally... but you can use it to diagnose and see if that resolves this issue.

Because it's not systemd, you can simply put your
echo line into
/etc/rc.local, then it will get run on every boot. I've had to do that before to run a script to check which network my laptop was on in order to set the correct fixed IP address.
For those who are running systemd, you don't need to add a service — just put
Code: Select all
HandleLidSwitch=ignore
HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore
in
/etc/systemd/logind.conf.d/logind.conf. I had to do that on another laptop running Proxmox because when the laptop lid was closed, it would shut down, which was the last thing I wanted with that particular installation.

I tested above method by personal intension, result is fail boot in GUI (booted on "welcome to mx linux!" CUI).
Right none acpi boot parameter is

This might help someone in the same boat.
I use acpi on my old work laptop, where it's easy to think the power cable is plugged in properly when it isn't. It's a real pain to have the system unexpectedly shut down some time later, so I wrote a short script which I've set as part of the autostart when I log in on Xfce. If the laptop is not on AC power, it makes sure you know about it:
Code: Select all
acpi -a | grep -qiv "off-line"
[ $? -eq 0 ] \
|| echo -e '\n\nON\n\nBATTERY!' \
| yad --text-info </dev/stdin \
--title="" \
--justify=center \
--back=red \
--on-top \
--center \
--no-buttons \
--fontname="Libertinus Sans Bold 50" \
--image=$HOME/g/scream-time.jpg \
--width=1500
This has been really useful to me once I've recovered from the shock
