Hi @Gagrid and welcome to the Manjaro community.
I do not have a solution to your issue, however, let’s assume that the suggestion given by @manyroads had some merit (clearly the OP was unable to understand it).
Try this procedure:
cd /etc/systemd
sudo cp logind.conf logind.conf.backup
sudo nano /etc/systemd/logind.conf
The file previously mentioned is open in Nano. Use the up/down arrows to move the cursor down to the line:
#HandleLidSwitch=suspend
Uncomment that line (remove the #
) and change suspend
to poweroff
- So the line will be:
HandleLidSwitch=poweroff
Exit Nano and Save the file Ctrl+x and reboot your computer. Closing the lid should now shutdown instead of suspend, if his instructions were accurate.
Let us know if that solves your issue.
A little housekeeping…
