i want to use pm-suspend on my ubuntu server 11.04. Everything works fine, i can wake up the server with the power button, but wake on LAN doesn't work. My network card is an Intel e1000e. If i use acpid with "echo mem > /sys/power/state", wake on LAN works without any problem. What can i do to solve the problem?

I have a headless 10.04 ubuntu server ( running at home. Because I am a student I want to save some power by suspending the server when I really don't need it (school, sleep etc.). I have gotten WOL to work for me, BUT the suspend does not work.
I have tried pm-suspend and s2ram, but they both have same result; I lose all control (seems like a freeze) from my SSH, but it does not disconnect, and the server responds to pings. But I cant connect via ssh, or use the fileserver or any of the roles it has. I assume there might be something locking it when it tries to suspend, but I really don't know where to start looking (logs and stuff). I have googled quite a bit, but almost all failed suspends are some funky laptop issues, and this is not...
How do I configure acpi(d?) to suspend/halt the system after a specified period of inactivity? I can find plenty of information about setting up events to respond to button presses, but none on setting inactivity.
View 2 Replies View Relatedi have a pc that is set up as a torrent slave / file server and media pc i want to set i up so that is goes in to suspend when there is no need for it to be on. I wnat it to wake at a set time to run a cron script for me, to check if there are any new torrents out, if there are , download an seed to till rtorrent auto stops the seeding (for me thats set at 1:1), then go back in to standby mode, if there are no active downloads then i want it to go back in to standby straight away.
as its also used as a file server, is there any way to have the shares still visable, with the pc in stand by, then when a user accesses it wake up the server, and if there is no activity after a set time out then go back in to standby. i would also like it to wol when i try to ssh in to it as a htpc is runns moovida, i would also like it to only go in to standby mode if i am not playing a video.
If I suspend this toshiba satellite, and the battery is or gets low it will wake from suspend to tell me that it will need to suspend due to a critical low battery. Which is pretty dumb. I've experimented with this by plugging and unplugging the ac adapter.

I'm just setting up my first home server with ubuntu and I would like the box to suspend to ram when no one is accessing it for a while (let's say for 1 hour)The wake up task is already done and is working fine so far; but how can I put the machine to sleep automatically?I guess I have to watch for network-traffic but have no clue how to do it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to lower consumption of my server/HTPC. After wakeup from pm-suspend server/HTPC is ready to use in 1 or 2 seconds .For example if I suspend it while watching movie in KODI, after resume movie starts playing instantly. But some services (SSH and SAMBA) are not running. I thought it was network problem so I change configuration to static (not DHCP). SAMBA and SSH starts like 15 seconds after wakeup.
View 0 Replies View RelatedI have a server with Debian Wheezy. I already setup Wake-On-LAN (from halt) and works just fine, but i need to have Wake-On-LAN from suspend or hibernate. None of them works, despite multiple solutions I tried.
The server is mainly used for remote backups and i will like to be able to suspend/wake on LAN automatically on certain period of time (when backups occur) or manually.
The first try was based on [URL] .... and [URL] ..... but without success.
I also tried: uswsusp and hibernate .. intended on using even TuxOnIce but looks complicate..
In BIOS there are some settings to manage the fans (Fan Speed Control Modes) which is set to 3 (Workstation). I also disabled all USB devices in BIOS (since i don't need them and i have read that some USB may create problems)
I used pm-utils and once i try suspend/hibernate the machine hangs with the fans still running ... and with some other hardware suspended.

I'm using a dell latitude d630 with an nvidia quadro 135M card. I'm able to suspend without any problems while running the X server. If I try to suspend on console without the X server running, the laptop wakes up to a blank screen. The screen remains blank and my only resort is to type sudo halt (with the screen off).I'm using the proprietary nvidia driver with the nvidia-kernel package on testing.

I have a Dell M1530 but I don't really think it's a dell hardware issue because it's not just when I close the screen, it's also when I click suspend or hibernate from the menu.
View 2 Replies View Relatedafter long hours of testing and thinking (and suffering ) I have finally settled for Ubuntu Lucid Server (AMD64) for a home server. Tasks include AFP (Apple) filesharing with Avahi, torrenting, webserver, printserver, backup solution, possibly later Asterisk, etc...
I use ssh to administer the server with the occasional x-forwarding. I do not use a graphical environment such as Gnome.
After hours of searching forums, troubleshooting, etc. I have configured the server to my liking (not quite yet finished). As one of my primary considerations was consuming little power (within the constraints of a standard cost-efficient PC architecture with 4 HDDs) I wanted to be able to suspend and/or hibernate the server when not required. After installing pm-utils (and faking a monitor with the nomodeset and xorg.conf mods), this was possible (I use pm-suspend and pm-hibernate by ssh).
Now I encounter a flurry of issues. When I wake from suspend: gigabit ethernet no longer works (found a work-around) CPU power management no longer works (need to enable "conservative" with another work-around) my CPU, which is untervolted by BIOS and stable at 1.05V, has 1.25V after waking (I have not been able to revert this to 1.05 without a shutdown/new boot - not even reboot will fix it) hdparm no longer functions, my HDDs which usually spin down nicely thanks to my editing of hdparm.conf, no longer do so after wake from suspend/hibernate
Now I can spend days trying to find work-arounds for every little thing with scripts in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ but I ask myself the question, am I doing something fundamentaly wrong? Is Ubuntu Server not meant to handle suspend? Are there better or "more correct" ways of using suspend which would prevent these errors? Does everyone who would like to utilise suspend have to go through this?
ACPI is enabled in the BIOS by the way, so is wake-on-lan, which I use to wake the server after sleep.
EDIT: Just to clarify, all the issues above ONLY occur after a suspend (or hibernate) and subsequent waking of the server. When I start the server normally (from a full power off), everything works as I want it to.
i found this video, and i really want to do the same. *newbie needs to learn [URL]...my question is, what need to be installed and how?

I'm curious if anybody can shed some light for me in this department. We're in a large environment with a Windows DHCP Server. We have been tinkering with LTSP on Edubuntu as thin and fat clients. It works great, but right now we just have 1 server handling the lab, which works fine unless we want to expand, which may be very possible.
These are the instructions I received:
Login to your windows server and load the DHCP configuration screen
Create a DHCP reservation for the MAC address you obtained
Add the configuration options below to enable the machine to boot from the LTSP server
017 Root Path: /opt/ltsp/i386
066 Boot Server Host Name: <ip address>
067 Bootfile Name: ltsp/arch/pxelinux.0 # Specify CPU architecture in place of 'arch', for instance 'i386'

I'm curious, what if I want to have multiple Ubuntu servers on the network that I want to have bootable? For example, let's say I have 3 labs, and 3 servers. Server A to Lab A, Server B to Lab B, and Server C to Lab C. I want all C's computers to boot to C, and B to B, A to A, etc.
1 - How would I add multiple entries on the Windows DHCP Server to allow all 3 (A B C) servers to boot?
2 - How would I be able to isolate the clients so ONLY Lab A clients boot to Server A, etc?
I own a rather large website/forum devoted to Scuba utilizing vBulletin. The problem is that its become INCREDIBLY slow as of late. I have three Ubuntu web servers under a single Ubuntu load balancer and they draw from a CentOS 5 DB server running MYSQL. Here are my concerns:
-I am thinking that they are all 32 bit rather than 64 bit.
-I am thinking that the problem is an IO issue.
Last weekend i've set up my first headless ubuntu home file server and torrent downloader with ubuntu 9.10.Very cool but CPU is way too fast for a home server: P4 HT 2.8Ghz, unfortunatly it has only 256Mb of ram, so no X server and no VNC (old HP office pc) At the moment memory usage is only 40Mb without X server. Besides SSH works just fine Few questions i can't seem to find answers to on google:What is a good CL network monitoring program?mething similar to htopUbuntu 9.10 has a lot, about 20-30, console-kit deamon instanses running after boot each using some memory that i can't spare.

In trying to help our office modernize its IT infrastructure, one of the key components is maintaing our server. We have around 50-60 people who need access to a local server primarily for secure general file storage. These employees are geographically dispersed. We currently use some(?) version of Windows Server which is maintained and updated by a IT company we keep on retainer. After doing some very basic research on Ubuntu Server, I would like to try and incorporate a pilot program utilizing the Ubuntu Server software.I was successful in installing Ubuntu Server on an unused PC that I put a clean hard drive in. I have been following the direction of the Official Ubuntu Server manual to assist in the server setup, and this has progressed my cause up to a point.
Can I run an Ubuntu Server alongside our current Windows server without bring everything to a screeching halt? Additionally, I am the only mac computer in an office filled with varying version of windows. I have begun to configure samba but need some direction from the community as to updating the workgroup so my mac can connect to the Ubuntu Server. What do I need to put in the workgroup part of the /etc/samba/smb.conf directory?I have no doubt there will be face palms by the community after reading this thread, but I am trying my best to teach myself the Ubuntu way.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI support a small business which runs a headless Ubuntu Server (10.04 32bit) as a file server which is accessed by Windows machines.Although the company has it's own back-up procedure they have decided to back-up some (none sensitive) files online. The have chosen FileFactory (http://www.filefactory.com/) as the host for this. FileFactory allows files to be uploaded to their server by FTP however I do not know how to set this up on the server.
The idea, if it is possible, is to connect to FileFactory through FTP and then synchronise the data using an Rsync command.I normally access the server through Webmin and it has vsFTP installed. I can access the company's server by FTP from inside and outside of the network so I know that vsFTP is working for incomming connections however I cannot work out how to configure it to connect to the FileFactory server.

View 1 Replies View RelatedCurrently I use FreeNAS, which is a FreeBSD-based NAS distribution for my home server. However, I would like to move to a Linux-based home server with the ability for new software packages to be installed, which is a problem with FreeNAS. I use Lucid beta on my Dell Mini 10v, and have two Windows 7 and one Windows XP desktop(s), with all of them connected via Gigabit ethernet and Wifi N.
The home server would act as a file server (SMB and whatever the best one is for my Ubuntu netbook), a media server (UPnP, MT-DAAPD/iTunes and DLNA for my PS3), as a webserver and as a VirtualBox server just to experiment with. The server itself has a 160GB PATA drive which will be for the OS, and a 1TB SATA drive to be for the data; Gigabit ethernet; an AMD Athlon 64 2.2GHz (with AMD-V) and 1GB RAM.Are there any things you would recommend for me to install? I think that having a window manager would be nice, even if just for initial setup since I am not very experienced with command-line Linux. I'm planning on installing Webmin and a VNC/SSH server so I can configure it remotely. I don't need any firewall or VPN services as these will be provided by a pfSense box separate from this.
After days and days spent in reading guides, how-to, forum post and much more, I still have some doubts regarding the possibility of developing a personal mail server having a fully functional ubuntu server. ( of course this is due to my lack of knowledge...hehe )
First thing I wish to understand is the focal point "Can I have my private mail server pointing to mymail@myinventeddomain.whatever ONLY IF I have previously registered ( bought ) myinventeddomain.whatever?"
Second thing is: " Could it be a work-around setting up a free dynamic name server ( pointing to my server, where a LAMP stack is already fully functional ) and then use this "name" to create my email? "(*) Example: using my own server, already accessible from outside my lan using a free dyndns name, I'm able to access and manage some web-based services. Is it possible to apply concept two at this situation? The base idea is to have my own email service, with my own domain like neomod@thenameiwant.xxx , so I can create email-based notification between my server and some other email addresses without relying onto some public service ( let's say google or my own isp mail server ).
I have read about the common solution in theese cases ( Postfix ) but in each guide, tutorial, faq or similar I could have read there is no explanation about " How to choose/obtain your own domain name".Reading forum discussion situation isn't better, because some one clearly states that I need to by a domain name ( ex. godaddy, aruba, etc. ) while some others say that I can realize it on my own just using dinamic dns name and a few other things.So beg my pardon if this question might seems stupid, but since I already own a domain name+webhost I reallu wish to understand before spending other money.
