Change HandleLidSwitch value in the installer?

[arthur....@gmail.com]

So, I'm glad that HandleLidSwitch is set properly after an install to keep laptop systems from going to sleep when closed. I always forget about that on new installs of different OSs, and then I have to remember how that flavor of whatever system lets you disable the setting.

HOWEVER, could that be disabled in the installer? It's happened at least three times that I've closed the lid without thinking, the system goes into standby, and on resume, the USB hasn't reattached properly, so I have to start over again. Not a HUGE deal, but it is certainly a bit frustrating . . .

Much appreciated!

Do you mean as a default setting for all fresh Qubes installs, or as an option
that the user can toggle in the installer?

If it's the former, then I think it would be incorrect to impose this as a
default on everyone without a good reason. Maybe most people prefer the
opposite as a default (I have no idea).

If it's the latter, then I think we need a good reason for including *this*
particular thing as a toggleable option in the installer. Otherwise, it seems
pretty arbitrary. We obviously wouldn't want to end up putting *every*
post-configuration option into the installer, so we probably shouldn't include
this particular one just because you often forget to change it to fit your
preference. (No offense!)

Actually, neither of those situations - the way post-install is set up is perfect. This is what I'm referring to Right now, if I fire up the installer, click "Begin Installation," and decide to close my laptop lid while the installation runs, the system goes to standby. :[ Boo!!! Usually, the USB fails to reconnect, and the installer breaks. That make more sense?

Oh, I see what you mean now. Yes, that makes sense. The existing behavior is
probably an oversight, since all power saving measures should be disabled
while the OS is being installed.

I figured it was an oversight. Nothing major (and kinda picky), but man, it's caught me more than once like a little splinter . . .

Thanks!
