Method to disable sleep
PinnedSome models do not handle sleeping gracefully. In some cases the best idea is to disable sleep. There are two (2) ways to do that.
In Browser Method
Works for both free version and paid for version
There is a Chrome extension that allows you to control sleep settings. Keep Awake - Caffeine allows you 3 modes.
- Sun - screen stays on
- Sunset - system prevented from sleeping
- Moon - Default sleep/resume behavior
Follow the above link and add the app if this is the way you want to handle this.
CLI Method
ONLY WORKS ON FREE VERSION
You can add your computers model name to a specific file that will disable sleep. It uses exact matches so use the following steps.
- Press [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [t] to open crosh
-
shell
-
sudo su
-
disable_verity
- restart device, repeat steps 1-3
-
mount -o rw,remount /
-
cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name >> /usr/share/power_manager/suspend_prevention_models
-
restart ui

6/24/17, I installed CloudReady on my HP Mini 1103. Immediately ran into the sleep problem. KEEP AWAKE installed with no trouble and at least the SUN mode works with the lid open. Will experiment with the rest.
Next need to tackle getting my Brother wifi printer working with CloudReady.

Will this anomaly ever be addressed by Neverware?. Its the reason Cloudready never made it past the first experimental unit in our church's computer lab several years ago. All other identical units wake from sleep just fine using windoze. Just upgraded from version 55 to version 66 to see if its fixed. Nah, same issue.
