Stop the laptop from going "stand by" when lid is closed in Xubuntu

I hate the fact that I have to figure this out for every new distro I use. But here it goes for Xubuntu. Tested and working in 14.04 LTS.

1. Open the file /etc/systemd/logind.conf
2. Find the line "HandleLidSwitch="
3. Set it like "HandleLidSwitch=ignore" and if it has a "#" (hash" in front of it, remove it.

Save and reboot and you are good. :)
