I have an issue with Ubuntu 18.04 and closing the lid of the laptop.
rather with loosing internet connection when the lid is closed.
I noticed that machine does not even respond to ping when the lid is closed.
I've setup Power manager to 'ignore' closed lid. I reconfigured logind.conf but it did not have an effect.
Could someone please advice how to keep wi-fi connection when the lid is closed?
Note:I did not have the issue with 16.04
Thanks

Ive had the same issue before. This is an easy fix:
Edit /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf with your editor of choice. This will require sudo.
Find the following line:
[connection]
wifi.powersave = 2
Change the 2 to a 3
Save the file and exit.
After saving type:
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
