I hope you're well! I've been having an issue with my laptop, a Dell XPS 13 9370 running Ubuntu 18.04, where the screen does not turn off nor does the system suspend when the lid is closed. My laptop spends a lot of time in my backpack and this issue can cause the laptop to grow very hot very quickly. I've tried the solution using systemd, I'll paste the complete file from systemd/logind.conf below. However, this still isn't working for me. Does anyone have any ideas?

systemctl restart systemd-logindor reboot after changing that file?grep Lid /etc/UPower/UPower.conf? – Pablo Bianchi Nov 25 '20 at 03:49
