I'm running Ubuntu Studio, which is based on Ubuntu 19.04. I want it to do nothing when I close the laptop lid. I'm able to do this in Kubuntu 18.04 via the Power settings. But I can't get this to work in Ubuntu 19.04. I go to the XFCE Power Manager, and for laptop lid close I'm only offered three alternatives: Suspend, Switch Off Display, and Lock Screen, whether or not I'm on battery power. How can I specify Do Nothing?

Had the same problem and this link helped:
In file /etc/systemd/logind.conf change the line:
#HandleLidSwitch=suspendTo:
HandleLidSwitch=ignoreEither run: systemctl restart systemd-logind.service or reboot.
In my case I had to reboot before this worked.
This still works on Ubuntu 19.04
