I am using Ubuntu 14.04. I can't get the external monitor to stay on if I close my laptop's lid. I have been using Ubuntu since 12.04 and I have always had the same problem. Can anyone help? Thx.

closing the lid of the laptop puts it into standby. you can change this behavior in power settings. if you change it to "do nothing", then your external monitor will remain on.

power settings in ubuntu
