[SOLVED] System freezes after reopening the lid

I have Zorin OS Lite 15 on my laptop and I have set that when I close the lid the screen turns off, but when I open it the open windows show again and the cursor seems to work but I can't actually click on anything or give any keyboard input, then the cursor disappears forcing me to shut down the computer by holding the power button. How do I fix this?

Hi see this thread - the last post solved the issue:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=15295#p68825

But I don't want it to suspend...

OK, Go into Menu | Settings | Power Manager.

1. - Change Power Button Settings from Suspend to Shutdown.


2. - the System Sleep Mode cannot be changed but the timing can - increase it so that suspend does not take place unitl over 5 hours - move that slider to far right and uncheck "Lock screen when going to sleep"

3. - Display Power Management - change all available settings to never, then turn off.

4. - Turn off "Activate Screensaver when idle."

5. - Disable Lock Screen - AFTER turning off "Lock Screen with Screensaver."

Keep us posted

My only other comment is that your battery life will be shortened considerably.

It worked, thank you!

Glad you are sorted. Have marked as [SOLVED].
