I like this distro, but I have an issue with the laptop monitor integration. Maybe I'm just dumb, but I cant find where to change the settings for when I close my laptop lid. I'd like it to turn the monitor off, but it doesn't do this. I can still see light coming from the sides.

Anyone know a fix for this?

Same issue here - Dell Latitude C-840

Does the same in Ubuntu too (haven't checked how to shut off in Ubuntu (dual boot)

The screen does shutoff in the bios when closed.
