I used to have this problem only when shutting down from the command line (sudo halt or sudo shutdown -h now). It would work fine with the shutdown from the menu in 11.10 but, now that I've upgraded to 12.04, it isn't waking remotely.
I've never seen the -p variants of the commands, so I'm going to experiment with "sudo halt -p" and "sudo shutdown -hP now" when I get to work Monday. As of right now, my remote host isn't waking, so I have no way of testing different options until then. I'll also check the output of ethtool to make sure that the flag is set before shutdowns are issued. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/324295 Title: WOL does not work when using shutdown, but works with suspend (S3) and "halt -p" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/324295/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
