To have the lid closed without doing anything:

  1. Have someone else close the lid for you.

  2. execute the following commands:

    gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xrandr default-monitors-setup 'follow-lid'
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-suspend-with-external-monitor false
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-action 'nothing'
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-battery-action 'nothing'

Now when that other person closes the lid for you, Ubuntu will not do anything neither!

;-)
