stephen@stephen-laptop:~$ sudo echo mem > /sys/power/state

stephen@stephen-laptop:~$ echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/acpi_video_flags
bash: /proc/sys/kernel/acpi_video_flags: Permission denied
stephen@stephen-laptop:~$ echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/acpi_video_flags

stephen@stephen-laptop:~$ echo 3 > /proc/sys/kernel/acpi_video_flags
