I want to transform an old laptop with a broken screen into a server.

More specifically, I want to disable the behaviour that the computer enters into sleep stand when the lid is closed.

The question elsewhere on SO (what is the easiest way to strip a desktop edition to a server edition?) does not answer to my specific question.

My question is: which package do I have to remove for preventing the computer to enter into sleep stand when closing the lid.

Events like "closing the lid" are handled by acpi, so you could try to remove acpid and acpi-support. I am not sure it has anything to do with servers, but there you have it. – mikewhatever Mar 09 '18 at 22:10
Two persons voted this question down. One of them, I suppose, asked me to edit the title. I did it. How can I prevent my question to be further neglected and disappears without answer? – Pierre François Mar 10 '18 at 08:54
