Whenever my laptop wakes from suspend, wifi stops working. I could restart the network manager using sudo service network-manager restart but I ran into issues with VPN or the DNS. I decided to just disable suspend permanently.

I did a couple of differnt things to disable suspend. I am not sure which one finally worked but I am just listing them here as a note to self.

Gnome Tweak Tool

Gnome tweak tool has an option to disable suspend when lid is closed. Install and run it using the following command.

sudo apt install gnome-tweaks
gnome-tweaks

Turn off suspend when laptop lid is closed option.

logind.conf

Ignore lid close in logind

sudo nano /etc/systemd/logind.conf

and change HandleLidSwitch to ignore. Restart systemd-logind.

sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind

UPower.conf

Edit the Upower.conf to change the ignoreLid to true

sudo nano /etc/UPower/UPower.conf

and then restart

sudo service upower restart
