Ubuntu :: Cannot Wake Up Computer From Sleep Via USB Infrared Remote?

Dec 8, 2010

I have an interesting issue. I have a computer running Ubuntu 10.10. I have a wireless USB Microsoft keyboard attached to this, and I have a cheap USB infrared remote also attached to it.The wireless USB Microsoft keyboard can wake up the system from suspend. The USB infrared remote cannot.To start off, I made sure my /proc/acpi/wakeup had wakeup enabled for all usb devices.

Code:
xbmc:~$ cat /proc/acpi/wakeup
Device S-state Status Sysfs node

[code]...

General :: Finding Out What Caused The Computer To Wake Up From Sleep (Ubuntu)

Dec 11, 2010

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.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: 10.04 + VLC + Infrared Remote?

May 19, 2010

I've got an HP Pavillion dv9000 laptop, the type that come with an HDMI port and a built in Windows media center remote.

How do I make it work with VLC? I've done a little research, and I've installed lirc. It now sorta works with Totem, but not at all with VLC. What am I doing wrong?

Hardware :: Infrared Remote On Macbook - Debian

Aug 29, 2010

I'm trying to get mythtv running on a macbook (2nd gen) and have got to the point where most things are working. But I am struggling with the IR Receiver and a non-apple remote control. I have lirc installed and the IR device is detected as an inbuilt HID usb device and the device file /usr/usb/hiddev0 works as the lirc device for the apple remote.

Trouble is the apple remote with its 6 buttons is not very useful in mythtv. I have a leadtek DTV tuner and it came with a remote that has lots of buttons so I would like to use that. Unfortunately, even getting the raw data from the remote doesn't seem to return valid data for that or any other remote I have apart from the apple remote.

I'm running

To see the raw data from the remote. For the apple remote I usually get 32 bytes/button push and bytes 20 and 28 change for each button. All the other remotes return the same 32 bytes regardless of the button pushed.

These are:

For the apple remote I get:

Where xx is different for each button. The values for the codes in the lircd.conf for each button are 32 bit quantities made up of the 5th, 13th, 21st and 29th bytes (ie: for the six apple remote button codes you have 0x87EEF0xx where xx is 0B, 0D, 08, 07, 04 or 02)

Has anyone got this working for a macbook with non-apple remote? Any other pointers on what I could look at next?

Hardware :: Getting Infrared Remote Controls Working With Laptop?

Aug 4, 2010

I have a new Dell Studio XPS laptop (I have used dell laptops for many many years running Fedora linux). And for the first time I want to setup the Infrared remote control in the laptop.

That is I like to set up a remote to start and stop movies and sound playback.

I installed LIRC and after reboot I see devices such as /dev/ircomm0 to /dev/ircom31 as well as /dev/irnet

So what next?

The LIRC website just goes on about using serial dongles, but nothing on setting up a laptop with a built-in IR sensor. It also talks about using irrecord, but that program complains about no /dev/lirc0 device.

I tried installing a "gnome-lirc-properties" (whcih also installed "lirc-remotes" package), but it fails with a verbose 'python traceback' that doesn't tell you what is wrong.

Ubuntu :: Can't Wake From The Sleep

Jul 5, 2010

Whenever I close my laptop lid or just press the suspend button, it will go to sleep just fine. Perfect. Waking up is the problem. The drive light flashes for a few seconds, and then it just goes to back to normal but my display is still busted.

Ubuntu :: Wake From Sleep And/or Hibernation?

Mar 1, 2010

I'm running 9.10, how do I wake up from sleep or hibernation on my Dell XPS notebook? I have no problem putting the comp to sleep/hiber but can't seem to work out the keys to wake it up again.

I don't get any responses from the keys even when I try CAPS LOCK or NUM LOCK, so all I can do is reach for the on/off switch.

Ubuntu :: Monitor Goes Into Sleep - Won't Wake Up

Apr 27, 2010

I am running Ubuntu 9.10 on my desktop and everynow and then I get this annoying problem. If I walk away for a bit, just upstairs to use the bathroom, sometimes when I come back the monitor is off and the power light is blinking. You know, like what monitors usually do when they are still powered on but the screensaver is done playing. However, this happens to me well before the 10 minutes that the screensaver is supposed to end.

It does not always happen, and I can't really isolate what may be causing it, as I never take a note of what I'm doing when I go pee. HOwever, I rarely do anything other that run VLC, Chrome, Firefox, or OpenOffice Writer.

The problem is that the screen won't wake up. Moving the mouse does nothing. Jamming some keys does nothing. Trying to go to text terminal does nothing. I have to either REISUB or hold down the power button on the tower.

Ubuntu :: Monitor Goes To Sleep And Won't Wake Up?

Aug 30, 2010

I just recently got my old box back and now I'm running 10.4. I've had some minor issues that I have got through but now there is one which seems to really be frustrating me. At any random time my monitor may go black as if it is in sleep mode. The problem is when it does this, no mouse movement or keystroke will wake the thing up. So I am forced to press the power button. When I press the power button the Ubuntu logo pops up on the screen as if it magically woke up but it is too late because now the computer is shutting down... When I go to System>Preferences>Screensaver I get to the options for the screensaver and I have about 2 seconds before that triggers the screen going black.

I can't even start until I know that my screen won't shut off at any random moment!

Debian :: KDE Freezes On Wake From Sleep (Jessie)

Jun 10, 2015

I have installed Debian 8.1 with KDE desktop on Lenovo t431s with intel HD4000 graphics.

When using it with dual monitor configuration, I experience the problem when I put system to sleep (by closing the lid), then remove the external monitor cable (from miniDP port) and then try to wake system from sleep. The login screen freezes and I am unable to move the mouse or type in credentials. In case I had music player running I can hear the music after system wake , but it shutters while playing.

This does not happen on some other distributions, but the problem is that I very much like my current setup and I would like to fix this problem and keep it.

I do not know if this problem is due to KDE or KDM or it's Debian base.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Wake-up On Lan From Suspend / Sleep?

May 26, 2010

Firstly, wol works fine from shutdown and hibernate; it's just suspend which doesn't work.

I've got 2 types of workstations, all running 11.1. They both have this kernel:
2.6.27.45-0.1-default #1 SMP 2010-02-22 16:49:47 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Type 1 is a dell optiplex 745, bios version 2.4.1. Here's the relevant bit from lspci:
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5754 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02)
Kernel driver in use: tg3
Kernel modules: tg3

[Code]....

The fact that it's happening across two different machines makes me wonder if it is some OS setting I've missed, but then maybe neither card/driver supports it from suspend.

I'd really like to get them waking from suspend because training users to use suspend rather than hibernate would be a pain. Also, being able to configure such that it only wakes from suspend and not hibernate/shutdown, as implied in the bios, would allow me to wake machines up for backups etc only when the users are here, rather than on holiday/seconded to another department etc.

Debian Hardware :: Persistent Hdparm Setting After Wake From Sleep

Jan 26, 2016

I have set up a hdparm configuration file ( /etc/udev/rules.d/50-hdparm.rules ) with :

Code: Select allACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="sda", RUN+="/usr/bin/hdparm -B 255 -S 0 /dev/sda" .

This works correct when I power on my system, however after waking my computer from sleep mode , /dev/sda appears to operate with APM .

Is there a way I can make this setting to be persistent ,i.e. APM disabled when waking up from sleep mode?

I am running Debian Jessie x64.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Devices Involved In Wake From Sleep - Suspend To Memory

Apr 17, 2011

I have openSUSE 11.4 KDE (upgraded to Tumbleweed but that's not relevant here). The computer is a Dell Optiplex. My sleep (suspend to ram) and wake (restore from ram) work very well. The box can multiboot to windows 7 as well as to Linux.

In Linux, the restore process is triggered by pressing the power button on the front of the case. No other action will bring it awake.

In windows, the restore process is triggered by the power button but also by moving the mouse or touching the Escape key, spacebar etc.

Here's the question: how do I get the computer to wake in Linux by activating a key (or mouse, whatever) instead of just the power button (which is under the desk and hard to get to)?

Ubuntu :: Couldn't Wake Monitor Up From "sleep"?

Aug 16, 2010

This morning I woke up and while my computer was turned on, I couldn't wake my monitor up from "sleep". So I turned off the computer and turned it back on. I noticed that the normal boot screen (which usually shows a monster truck from Abit) was pretty severely distorted.Basically all output to the screen is so distorted visually that I can't tell what's going on. I've attached two images that I took below:

The first image is at the very beginning of the boot (perhaps when the monster truck should normally show <- sometimes it shows and sometimes it is just too distorted to tell anything). The second image is after it's been on for about a minute, and you can see a little text box giving me some sort of warning (which I of course can't read). I can click "OK" or something along those lines by using they keyboard though and progress to a new warning box, but again, can't read what they say. How can I figure out what the problem is?s it definitely a videocard thing, or could this be caused by anything? I don't know if it's a software problem (running Ubuntu 10.04), or if something went wrong with my hardware overnight.

Fedora :: Cannot Wake From MCE Remote In New Kernel?

Jul 17, 2010

I am running a Fedora 12 installation in my bedroom as a slave mythtv frontend. I have set it up to be able to put the PC to sleep and wake up with a MCE remote. This has been working for near on a year now with no issues. Yesterday I did a yum update and ended up with kernel 2.6.32.16-141.fc12.i686.PAE (up from 2.6.32.12-115.fc12.i686.PAE)

Now everything seems to work fine however I can put the PC to sleep with the remote but I cannot wake it up with the remote. a cat of /proc/acpi/wakeup shows

Code:
DeviceS-state Status Sysfs node
SMB0 S4 disabled pci:0000:00:03.2
USB0 S4 enabled pci:0000:00:04.0
USB2 S4 enabled pci:0000:00:04.1
US15 S4 enabled pci:0000:00:06.0

[Code]...

At the grub prompt if I select the old kernel 2.6.32.12-115.fc12.i686.PAE then the computer will start up with no graphical prompt (need to figure out how to work kmod-nvidia i guess), but I can use the remote to put the pc to sleep and wake it up again. Also using the old kernel and telneting into the PC I see that /proc/acpi/wakeup is no different. Does anyone have any clues on hoiw to get wakeup to work with this new kernel? Or how do I roll back everything to the older kernel and get my graphics driver back (i tried to reboot with old kernel and then yum erase kmod-nvidia-PAE and then yum install kmod-nvidia-PAE but no luck.

Another thing worth noting is that I can wake the computer with the power button, just not the USB remote. THere is also nothing in the motherboard bios for setting wake on USB.

Ubuntu Networking :: Wake-on-lan With Shutdown Computer?

Dec 11, 2010

This isn't stricly an Ubuntu question, but it is in the cause of an Ubuntu-powered home server Essentially: does wake-on-lan work if the computer is Shut Down (ie to all intents and purposes 'off' except for the hardware switch on the back), assuming that the motherboard and network interface (which in my case are one and the same) support wake-on-lan?

Also, if wake-on-lan is turned on, will this mean power going to anything other than the network interface (e.g. will PSU, CPU, case fans still be on?)Finally, will all of this work on Ubuntu 10.10 (assuming that the computer components are compatible)?

EDIT: Just to be clear, the Ubuntu system will be receiving the wake-on-lan 'call' (from a Squeezebox, though from my very limited knowledge of this stuff I don't think the source matters)

Fedora :: Crontab - Alarm Clock Functionality To Wake Up Computer

Jul 6, 2010

I have a feature that keeps me going back to Mac every night, and I was wondering if there was an equivalent. I have a nice app called alarm clock on Mac that plays music from my library on specified days of the week and times AND can wake the computer from sleep to do so. I was wondering if there was a Linux equivalent, such as crontab, that could do all those things. It's the last barrier to almost full time Linux use.

Ubuntu :: Computer Don't Work - Never Go To Sleep

Aug 4, 2010

The question is instead of shotgunning the problem should I start with replacing the hard drive or the motherboard or the processor. Is there a way to tell what is blown? The house took a direct hit and most electronics were fried. The main problem is that I set the computer to never go to sleep and it does every few minutes and I have to log back on quite often. Several games no longer play or just quit in the middle of the game and sends me back to the desktop. I haven't tried to do everything yet so I don't know of other problems. I don't have a lot of extra money so I only want to replace what I have to. The computer is a Dell Inspiron with 2.5 Gb processor and an Nvidia card ordered from Dell with Ubuntu 10.4 installed.

Ubuntu :: Maverick Display / Computer Sleep Despite Being Set To Never

Oct 20, 2010

I applied Power Management settings to put my computer to sleep in the hope that it would only sleep when it wasn't downloading something in Deluge. Unfortunately it would seem that it puts the computer to sleep despite Deluge being active. No biggie I thought, I'll just disable the sleep settings my setting them both back to NEVER. However, it ignores my new settings and still puts the display / computer to sleep, at the exact times I set originally!
