Edit the file /etc/systemd/logind.conf
change the line:
#HandleLidSwitch=suspend
to:
HandleLidSwitch=ignore
Save the file and reboot.
After changes it should match my system:
$ grep -i lid /etc/systemd/logind.conf
HandleLidSwitch=ignore
#HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore
#LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=yes
Also check your Ubuntu power settings for what to do when lid is closed. For myself I have to open lid to access power button so the settings there are irrelevant. Since you can access power button with lid closed it may be significant.
