    Re: help need running really badly for my friend thats joining the army

    Did you try pressing the wireless on/off toggle button after acpi-listen command ??
    You said that the wireless button is actually acting as sleep button, then it should generate an event which will trigger sleep
    When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth !!

    Mark it [SOLVED] if the issue has been resolved

    Edit the file, change false to true and then reboot.

    Code:
    sudo gedit /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state

    Well, it should not be readonly after sudo.

    Why is it read only? Shouldn't be, did you try the command I gave you? I hate chmod, I can never remember the syntax

    Try:

    Code:
    chmod a+rw /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state
    Then the sudo gedit command from earlier
