sudo apt install gksu & gksudo gedit /etc/systemd/nf You can also use a terminal based text editor like Vim if you are comfortable with that.

If I close the lid of the laptop, it goes to suspend/sleep mode and when I open the lid, it wakes up. I prefer to link with the lid action of my laptop. One of the ways to save battery on Ubuntu without losing work is to use the suspend mode. Brief: You close the lid of your laptop but it keeps on running instead of going into suspend mode? Here are a few ways how you can make Ubuntu suspend when the lid is closed.
