  • Note that the most upvoted answers on the "this is a duplicate, here's the answer" link are for the 16.04 version may not work on the 14.04 one. I have the 14.04 one and they didn't work there. – osiris Nov 20 '19 at 22:50

From terminal edit the acpi-support file. I have used nano, you can use any other editor:

sudo nano /etc/default/acpi-support

Then set SUSPEND_METHODS="none"

Save the file.

Then:

sudo /etc/init.d/acpid restart

  • Thanks, I will test this out. A colleague of mine spoke about acpi and we noticed we couldn't change the acpi settings in bios. This might work! I'll mark as solved if it works when I've tested it! – Jonathan Aug 24 '17 at 08:29
  • @JonathanÖhrström, did it work for you? – osiris Nov 20 '19 at 22:54
