Failure to wake using rtcwake command

[GJJ]

Hi,

I'm trying to wake my ubuntu pc using an rtcwake event and pm-suspend.
I basically use the scripts in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=938533

I have by now tried everything I could imagine to get the box to wake up, but it just won't. I have the latest BIOS version and a quite new pc (ASUS M4A78LT-M LE motherboard). The BIOS clock is set to utc, and RTC alarms are enabled there.

Does anyone have any new ideas I could try? I'm pretty surprised I can't get this to work because the same scripts work perfectly on another pc I have (which is actually older).

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

took alot of playing around but this works for me, not sure if you have already tried it.

sudo rtcwake -d rtc0 -m mem -s 40 -u -v

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, this did not work either.
Here's the output of the command:

Using UTC time.
	delta   = 0
	tzone   = 0
	tzname  = UTC
	systime = 1285309982, (UTC) Fri Sep 24 06:33:02 2010
	rtctime = 1285309982, (UTC) Fri Sep 24 06:33:02 2010
alarm 0, sys_time 1285309982, rtc_time 1285309982, seconds 40
rtcwake: wakeup from "mem" using /dev/rtc0 at Fri Sep 24 06:33:43 2010

After waiting a couple of minutes, nothing happened and I had to wake it by hand. In the meantime I have found a BIOS setting which let me set a daily wake event. This was actually what I was looking for, so my problem is solved.

Although if there are any other ways this could work, I certainly would be interested.

Thanks for your help!
