Hi
I have installed xmbcbuntu on a laptop directly connected to my TV. I want to me able to have the laptop lid closed and still run XBMC.
All the searching I have done has pointed me to the power options, or use gconf-editor or gconftool-2 to directly modify the lid_ac setting. I'm a Linux newbie but from what I understand xmbcbuntu has the minimal amount of things preinstalled just to run xbmc, so doesn't include the gnome power manager, so none of this works.
Is there any way for me to do this, or would I need to somehow install the power manager?
Thanks
