I must confess I didn't see any setting in the BIOS that directly referred to WoL, but I enabled something and hoped it should be right. Is this the problem? Is there any way to check if the hardware supports WoL other than looking through the BIOS?
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)
Im trying to remote power on my debian machine with gnome with the wake on lan function. I enabled it on my mainboard and was configuring my ethtool. There i see:
root@lappy:~# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Supports Wake-on: g
Wake-on: d
Link detected: yes
and after this command ethtool -s eth0 wol g i get this:
root@lappy:~# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Supports Wake-on: g
Wake-on: g
Link detected: yes
So i enabled it on software and hardware. Now im trying to sent the magic packets with a windows tool "wake on lan" I see that the package has been sent but the pc wont turn on. So when i check the ethtool settings again i see that it turned to:
Wake-on: d
I have just installed ubuntu server 10.04 LTS on a laptop, and I would like to control it remotely.When I manually turn on the computer I can successfully use SSH commands to turn it off. But when I wake on lan turn it on, it doesn't power off. It hangs on a black screen where the fan and the hard drive seem to be off, but the ethernet light is on and so are all the computer lights.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI been a windows guy forever, and wanted to make the switch. Anyways, I am hoping to do a wireless wake-on-lan from a windows box. I have an older laptop that has a dead screen and I am trying to use it as a server. So, I want to be able to VNC the linux box from my vista machine. I think that's going to be straight forward. But, the linux machine doesn't have a builtin wireless card, so I am using a USB wireless deal. If I let the laptop hibernate/sleep after being idle, can I wake from my vista box over my network?
View 2 Replies View Relatedi have windows 7 & ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop...and boot into win 7 im able to enable wake on lan on the nic. so my questions is if i enable WOL thru windows 7 when it boots up will it boot the win 7 or ubuntu? when i press the power button it automatically boots up ubuntu. im jus wonderin cuz it looks a lil easier to enable wol thur windows cuz i just gota check a box
View 1 Replies View RelatedI suppose this was caused by an update, I don't know. I just know that my wireless card is no longer seen by my Ubuntu 8.1. Maybe I should be in the newbie area. Isn't there a way I can wake it up with modprobe?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI can't get wake up on lan (wol) to work on my network card.The strange thing is that before I had it working with the exact same hardware. But I was on Centos 5.4 then. Now I am on Centos 5.5.Am I correct in concluding that the sky2 driver does not support wake up on lan?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to connect my desktop to my laptop over a non-internet connected LAN, but when i enable the LAN connection on my desktop (the one with the wireless) its internet stops working.
it is a very similar problem to this except that i am using ubuntu for the machine with the two connections.
right now i have my wireless on the 192.168.1.* address space, while the LAN is to be on 192.168.5.*
note: my goal is not to share internet with my laptop, just be able to connect to it and the internet at the same time.
desktop: ubuntu 9.10 , wireless and LAN
laptop: windows xp, LAN only
I'm trying to set up a wireless AP with Internet sharing. I currently have the AP setup with hostapd and a dhcp server. The clients can connect but there is not Internet sharing. Now my situation is somewhat uniqe in that my internet connection is my teathered android cell phone. The tether app is azilink and i use openvpn to create a virtual networking interface(tun0).
View 4 Replies View RelatedOn this box I have Two seperate Ubuntu installations. Recently in both I seem to be having the same problem. I initially can connect to the internet as per normal and use any internet application. But after a period of time, sometimes just minutes, sometimes hours, even though the icon says connected, I cant update pages or send emails etc because there is no actual connection. My Physical connection is good I know - My Ubuntu laptop and Windows gamming PC connect fine during this period. So
Does this suggest an intermittent hardware fault or is there some thing in Ubuntu I can check to make sure that it is setup correctly and nothing has been corrupted? I am a lay PC person - I dont really want to be command prompting - Plug & Play and Point & Click is my limit.
I tried to install Xubuntu 10.10 Maverick as dual boot on my laptop. However when xubuntu is on, I can't find a way to connect to internet. When I try the 2 arrows on the up-right corner the option for wireless is deemed. I tried offline/online, that did not work either. when I click the firefox It says you are not connected.

View 4 Replies View Relatednew to Ubuntu and enjoying using it, trying out Ubuntu as an alternative to vista, the only thing i have been able to do is suspend and then wake my pc, it fails to wake, is there a workaround for this
have changed settings so pc sleeps after 1 hour, it was on never, i,m running ubuntu9.10 my pc will wake but i have a black screen with mouse icon showing but i,m unable to get any response, all well again after a reset
put pc in suspend and went out, on returning home started pc via on/off switch instead of pressing space bar (any key) hey presto Ubuntu woke up no problem
I want to run a script on wake but it doesn't look like /etc/acpi/resume.d exists in Lucid. I tried creating it anyway, but I didn't have any luck. Is this because HAL has been removed? Is there a new method in Lucid?

I'm running the default graphics driver (not the proprietary NVidia one) on a quad-core Gateway FX. How can I go about figuring out the problem?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhenever 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.

I have to believe this exists/is possible. I am also an idiot so if there is such a thing I'm going to need help getting it up and running.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI upgraded my old HP Pavilion desktop to 11.04 a few weeks ago and at first things were fine, but recently the PC refuses to wake up in the morning. I assume it's going in to sleep mode overnight, but no matter what I push on the mouse or keyboard it won't wake up. I have set both the PC and screen in Power Management Preferences to Never go to sleep, but it doesn't seem to matter and it sleeps regardless. how I can either make it not sleep, or sleep a little lighter so it wakes up without a hard reboot?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAll I want to do is to be able to shut the lid on my laptop, have it go into suspend like it already does, but upon opening it again, successfully start up again. It'll sleep just fine, but if you close the lid and try to open it again later, the lights will indicate it is starting up, but the screen won't initialize, and I am left with a blank, black screen.I've tried a line of code to enter into my menu.lst file, and it seemed like it should work, but it borked my computer and I had to manually reinstate the line of code it had before.

I have made a virtual machine on my server using virt-manager that I access using virt-viewer from my desktop/laptop. Currently I am having to leave the VM on all the time. Which is a waste of cpu/ram etc. Ideally I would like to be able to wake the vm up from virt-viewer or from a bash script being ran on my desktop.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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.
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.
I have a macbook5,1 with ubuntu 9.10 on it. Does anyone got wake-on-lan working on this type of machine (or any other intel macbook?)
At startup, ethool sets the wake on lan parameter. I tried sending the magic packet with the wakeonlan utility.
I can Suspend or Hibernate my Gateway notebook but I have no idea how to wake it up.The power button is set to suspend or hibernate....I not sure which it does, but I can't wake the computer up.
View 9 Replies View RelatedFor some reason when I wake my computer up, there is no sound. No matter what I try through the terminal, or by playing with the volume controls, no audio. I can only get audio working again by a restart.
Does anybody know why, and/or how to fix?
I'm trying to get WOL to work on my web server built on an ASUS P4A800D-X motherboard (which supports wol).I have it enabled in my BIOS and I've tried several different tools with no results, including my dd-wrt based router which has this functionality built into the firmware.All the guides I've read say it has to be enabled in the driver settings in the Windows Control panel before it will work, but I'm running Ubuntu Server 10.04.
Is there any special steps that must be taken in the OS to enable my web server to power on from the LAN? I've never used this feature before and would like to just shove my web server in a corner some where and have 100% remote control from my main PC.
