Excerpts from Jason Hunt's message from Wed 13-Apr-16 22:30: > When attempting to enter sleep mode as a non-root user, I receive the error: > > acpiconf: request sleep type (3) failed: Operation not permitted > > Searching online yielded a suggestion that the user must be a member of > wheel, however my account is in the wheel and operator groups (confirmed by > running /usr/bin/id) > > This is happening on my laptop with a fresh install of 10.3-RELEASE, and > desktop with March snapshot of -CURRENT. Both systems properly enter and > resume from sleep mode when run as root. The same is here with -CURRENT. It looks that there is no other way, wiki states "as root" (I use sudo) [0]. Groups like "wheel" are mentioned in connection with PolicyKit [1]. [0] https://wiki.freebsd.org/SuspendResume [1] https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/16944/ Sergey
