How to edit /etc/default/acpi-support / no wireless after sleep

[derekreilly]

Hi,

I would like to know how to edit /etc/default/acpi-support. I need to add networking to STOP_SERVICES so that my wireless will stop and restart when I come in and out of sleep or hibernate but the location is read only. Can anyone help me?

# Add services to this list to stop them before suspend and restart them in
# the resume process.
STOP_SERVICES=""

Derek.

Press Alt+F2 and then in the pop-up type:

kdesudo kate /etc/default/acpi-support

Press Enter and Kate will open the file 'as root' and you can edit and save the changes.

You might wanna get acquainted with nano for modifying config files via CLI.

sudo nano /one/directory/or/another/file

CTRL + O to save
CTRL + X to exit

It saved my hide a few times when X was acting up.
