[ubuntu] Wake on Lan Karmic

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello everybody, I'm a complete newbie on this board, so thanks in advance for the time u may spend to help me deal with my small problems. So here we are: I m running karmic on a dell optiplex 330, with a broadcom network controller NetLink BCM5787, and wol doesn't want to work since upgrade to karmic. I have done that : Code: sudo ethtool -s eth0 wol g and added the line Code: ethtool -s eth0 wol g to /etc/rc.local file. This worked just fine on Jaunty. But since the upgrade, it hasn't been working. I tried a fresh install, but it brings the same result. I somehow think that a driver or something related to the network has changed between jaunty and karmic to explain this problem, but i don't know what i need to do to solve it. Thank u for your help, it will be greatly appreciated ! (HowTos)

This brief tutorial will show you how to remotely turn on Ubuntu machine from another within same network. On target Ubuntu machine:

1. reboot and go into BIOS settings. 2. In BIOS, enable Wake on Lan(WOL) or Wake On PCI(E). Then save and boot Ubuntu. 3. In Ubuntu, open terminal from the dash or press Ctrl+Alt+T, install ethtool sudo apt-get install ethtool

4. run this command, eth?

[ubuntu] Trackpads and Karmic 3 years 28 weeks ago

I'm sure I'm not the only one who had a problem with mouse control on upgrade to Karmic, since the option (present in Jaunty) to disable the trackpad on laptops is completely absent from Karmic, and 100% of laptop users I know hate their trackpads, which were designed by Satan.

When I was running Ubuntu hardy my local network would stay up for as long as I kept the desktop machine running. Admittedly that was a different computer although it had the same wireless card.

Now under Karmic at some undetermined time the network disappears. Unless I reboot the problem persists.

I just upgraded my HP Compaq nc6220 from Jaunty to Karmic. Jaunty was sweet, no issues at all. Under Karmic, I have the Intel cpu hog bug plus restart just hangs the machine after dropping out of Xorg.I've seen a lot of gripes about the Intel Xorg bug but no solutions - can this be sorted or do I go back to Jaunty?

BTW long-time Linux user, Ubuntu since 6.04.

Does anyone know much about suspend / resume and how to fix/troubleshoot problems with it?

Hi guys

I'm trying to setup WOL on my Ubuntu server, but i'm having a few problems.

I installed ethtool and set my Wake-on to g with this

sudo ethtool -s eth0 wol g

Here is my settings

Supports wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: g

Here is my problem. If i shutdown my computer it reboots immediately.

There seems to be an incompatibility between Karmic's current printing setup (18/10/2009), and ver. 8.4 of the Kyocera PPD (certainly for the FS-C5xxxdn family).

My FS-C5100dn is no longer automatically detected on the network, as it was under Jaunty, but that is easily overcome.

Hello all

I installed karmic koala beta a few months ago (erasing my jaunty version in the process but not my home partition!) and my printer continued to work flawlessly!(I suppose it took the jaunty settings and applied them to the new system, like my old modem details etc...).
