General :: Automatically Wake Up Notebooks Not On The Ethernet?
Mar 24, 2010
I am looking for an automated backup system and I like bacula. I have 3 Notebooks and a Desktop computer that need regular backup. Now I don't want to let them run all night just to do the backuping, so I was thinking I could use wake-on-lan to have bacula wake up the machines, then do the backups, and shut them down afterswards. While this may work with devices on the ethernet, it won't work with the Notebooks on the wifi. So is it possible to have the Notebooks schedules to automatically wake up from suspend or shutdown ?
Or is it possible to interject a shutdown command if it is after a certain hour and call the bacula director to start the backup now?

I'm trying to set autofs up to wake a samba file server whenever I want to use it. I found this page which apparently demonstrates how to do it with NFS. With a bit of modification I've managed to come up with this:
Code:
/etc/auto.wake
#!/bin/sh
hostsrv=<server ip address>
hostmac=<server mac address>
opts="-fstype=cifs,rw,credentials=/etc/samba/.creds"
netcat -w 5 -z $hostsrv 445
status=$?
if [ $status -ne 0 ]
then
/usr/sbin/etherwake -i $hostsrv $hostmac
sleep 60
fi
/bin/echo -n "share"
/bin/echo -n -e " "
/bin/echo -n "$opts"
/bin/echo -n -e " "
/bin/echo "://$hostsrv/share"
Now, I've added this line to auto.master
Code:
/server /etc/auto.wake --timeout=60 --ghost
and restarted autofs
Code:
sudo service autofs restart
It wakes up the server successfully but then when I wait 60 seconds and browse the /server directory on the client the share doesn't appear at all.

I am hosting a home server to make developing stuff easier. And because I don't need my server all day and night I automatically start and shut it down. For starting I use Wake-On-Lan (etherwake) and to shut it down I am using my RaspberryPi. Finally I have a problem doing that: When I use WOL to start my home server it works perfect. But when I try to shut it down, I have to do that twice. After the first shutdown it restarts automatically even when no WOL-Package is sent.
I am using Debian 8.1 Mate as os.
My stop script is:
Code: Select allsshpass -p<password> ssh root@server.home.lan shutdown -h now
and I start it with
Code: Select allsudo etherwake <mac address>
both times using a cron job on my RPi.

I am having difficulty in deciding on a linux laptop for going to school. I will be attending college for a Bachelor in Flight Technology and I need a notebook to take to class with me for notes (So nothing too awkward and heavy). I would prefer one without Windows pre-installed.So far I have considered:-Verix 1656 from zareason, however I am concerned about battery life and screen brightness (I like very dim screens, that which can be obtained with LED backlighting)-Serval Professional from system76, however again I am concerned about battery life (I hear it only gets about 1 hour)-Apple Macbook Pro, however it seems way too expensive for what it offers and might not have the best linux support.
For my battery life concerns, I believe that I could probably get away with running a text editor on the command line without having to boot into a GUI so I can save battery life. I also don't want to get a netbook because I'm likely to do *some* gaming, programming and 3d modeling in my spare time. Are there any other notebooks that I should consider from other places before making my decision? I would try emailing the college, but they are busy with admissions stuff and probably won't care too much seeing as a computer is not a course requirement.

I have the same issue as described in [URL] On my Lenovo w500 which throws following error message while installing
Code:
Unexpected exit with status 0x0009
I think I traced down the problem to notebooks that have two graphic cards installed as the w500 has. One solution would be to deactivate the ATI card which I can't on my machine. I guess 11.04 does not support Lenovo w500.

HARDWARE: Two Acer Aspire 5251-1513 V120 based notebooks and one 5534-1086 dual-core Athlon; an MSI Wind U123, an HP G60-231WM dual core Athlon and an antiquated Compaq Presario (that I only keep around as it has RS-232, Parallel and PCMCIA ports).
OS Platform: F13 on MSI Wind, Fedora 14 on the others. All kept up with yum. All purportedly have proprietary codecs installed, including libdvdcss, installed thru the easyLife script. (NOTE: the HP has not had yum run recently)
SOFTWARE INVOLVED: Totem, VLC, Kaffeine, MPlayer, K9Copy. PROBLEM: Failure to play or backup legit (ie: purchased DVD's), which only happens on the Acer platforms -- the MSI, HP and Compaq work fine, as do the desktop (generic MSI based clones) systems here.
SYMPTOMS: Totem gives "cannot read resource;" VLC fails silently; K9Copy segfaults. All media players & copiers successfully play / copy previously decss'd files TROUBLESHOOTING ATTEMPTS: I've gone thru most of the threads here, looked at gst-inspect, made libdvdcss from source, copied libdvdcss from the HP (working x86_64 machine) to an Acer, built libdvdcss from source. I've also checked the permissions of the /dev/devices, they're 777

Inspired by some recent posts from oldcpu I decided to grab some audio from my Logitech webcam, just for the fun of it. openSUSE 11.3 i586 is in use.
Code:
> lsusb
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:0991 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Pro for Notebooks
> arecord -l
**** Liste der Hardware-Geräte (CAPTURE) ****
Karte 0: Intel [HDA Intel], Gerät 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog]
[Code]...
It works! Though I have to say that the audio quality is mediocre (to say the best). I blame it on the quality of the built-in microphone of this camera. It sounds like it was recorded in a giant bathroom.

I have a laptop running Ubuntu 10.04 w/ wireless connection to desktop running Windows 7. I had it set up so I could execute a script to send a wakeonlan to the desktop. It worked fine for several weeks, but all of a sudden it stopped working. I've checked my script and it still looks good as far as I can tell. (I'm not that adept at script writing, so I wouldn't necessarily recognize a problem.) I've also checked the Windows machine to make sure the network adapter still is set to allow wake-on-lan.
BTW: my wake up script is as follows:
#!/bin/bash
wakeonlan xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Where the x's replace my actual MAC address.

I'm getting some trouble with Wake on Lan. The main question is: when I shutdown a PC through Windows, the WOL works well, but it doesn't happen when I shutdwon the same PC through Linux. It happens in all of my PCs here in the company.

I've got Ubuntu 9.10 with a user account for my wife, and one for myself. "Wake-from-screensaver" should result in "choose user" without having to enter any password. I know how to do that in Windows, but I'm not good with Linux (yet). get past the login screen without passwords (after booting, and after choosing "switch user"), but once the screensaver kicks in and I wake it up again, the system does not present the "choose user" screen. Instead, it either turns off the screensaver and presents the desktop of the most recent user, or (if the screensaver is set to lock the screen) prompt for the user's password (which can be handily surpassed by clicking the "switch user" button and choosing the same user again). So, the login ("choose user") screen has been dealt with. How do I make the (any) screensaver return to the login screen at wake, rather than to the current user's desktop? Windows can do this, I'm sure Linux can too - but how?

Is there any way to find out which device/event caused Ubuntu (10.10) to wake up from the most recent sleep/hibernation? I am trying to troubleshoot some sleep issues on a new box, and knowing what's causing it to wake up would help. I did check /var/log/pm-suspend.log but all it seems to say is Sat Dec 11 22:18:27 GMT 2010: Awake.

I am basically wanting to use my Ubuntu 10.10 computer as a router. Note: Before you say just get a router please note that I am poor/cheap. I have two ethernet connections and one wireless connection on my netbook. I want to share the internet connection that is going into one of the ethernet cards through the other ethernet card and the wireless card.
DSL-->1sr Eth --> 2nd Eth (currently works)
DSL-->1sr Eth --> Wireless Card (Adhoc) <--(connects with limited connectivity AKA no internet)
The 2nd Ethernet card already has working internet, but when I connect to the Wireless card (through an Adhoc network), it cannot get an IP (I believe).

I am fighting with the WOL settings of my Ubuntu box at the moment. The idea is to have an HTTP/SVN server to sleep while it's unused and wake up when it's accessed. So far, wake-on-LAN works and is activated on startup:
[Code]....
As you can see, I also set the wol p flag ('wake on physical activity'). My assumption was that I could convince the device to wake up not only on magic packets, but on any network access. This, however, seems to be wrong.

I am having trouble getting grub to automatically boot into ubuntu server. When I turn on my server the grub menu shows up and shows me the choices. They all work fine except that grub wont automatically select one. This wouldn't be too much of a problem but this is a headless server and I can't boot into ubuntu without a keyboard. I tried looking through the grub 2 documentation but nothing seemed to work when I edited the conf file.

know of a way in Linux to have a virtual ethernet (e.g., eth0:1) appear as a "real" ethernet (eth1)? I ask because I have an old Shuttle box that only has one mobo ethernet and no way to add more. I'd like to use it in my Oracle RAC lab, but RAC requires two physical ethernets. You can't fool it with eth0 and eth0:1. RAC won't setup correctly if there's only one eth adapter, so I'm wondering if there is a way to fake two ethernets. I do not care about performance or reliability - it's my home lab. I fully realize that this violates every principle of HA, but I'm just using it to study. Worst case, I can get a USB dongle ethernet adapter, but I'd prefer to avoid the cost if possible.

How do you get correct ethernet/mac id of your local network card using python script? Most of the article suggests to parse the output of ipconfig /all on windows and ifconfig on linux. I am sure that this solution would work on windows but I am a linux starter and not sure the reliability of ifconfig on linux distros. Couple of other solutions on linux are:
Code:
def getHwAddr(ifname):
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
info = fcntl.ioctl(s.fileno(), 0x8927, struct.pack('256s', ifname[:15]))
return ''.join(['%02x:' % ord(char) for char in info[18:24]])[:-1]
[code].....

My Atheros ar8132 is not being read by 'lspci' in Linux, or in the BIOS for the computer. It would be easy to say that it is a hardware connection fault, but I had the isuue before and it was fixed by doing an unclean shutdown. I have tried that several times, probably at the expense of some data, to no avail. This computer is not easy to take apart like others since it is a netbook. It is under warranty, but to send it in I would have to take out my new HDD and 2 GB stick of RAM which I really do not want to do
