eeepc + rtcwake = alarm clock
Hi all,
i wish to turn my eeepc 701 (Gnu/Linux Debian Lenny) into an alarm clock. So i thought that this worked: Code:
# rtcwake -s 20 && pm-suspend So i tried whith wakealarm too but got the same result: eeepc goes on suspend-mode (obviously) but doesn't wake up. It needs that (manually) the power button is pressed to wake up from suspension. Anyone got some experience on it? Thanks |
I'm running Debian 5.0, and I was able to put my laptop (dell xps m1330) to sleep for thirty seconds with
Code:
# rtcwake -m mem -s 30 That's a pretty cool command. Thanks for showing it to me. |
thanks for your answer,
you're totally right: there's non need to run pm-suspend. But the problem remains: it goes in suspension and resume not after x seconds but only if i press power button. This happens only in X, in console instead, it doesn't wake up at all. I have to power off... p.s. happy to have been useful... ;-) |
That's a stinker. What kernel are you running? Is it hand rolled or did you apt-get it?
|
no it isn't hand rolled, it is the default kernel of debian for eeepc.
Can it be that the problem is in some of the eeepc-acpi-scripts? Or it can depend on bios? |
Well, to answer your questions, yes and yes. It sounds like your linux isn't listening to acpi events. That could be a scripts or a bios issue. I don't have any experience with an eeepc so I don't think I can offer anything more. Good luck!

I just tried this on an HP DV5020us laptop and it looks like it is a bios limitation. Same here, no wake up.
Tried it on a couple desktops that have a wake time settable in the bios and it works great from a terminal. Looks like it has to be settable in the bios (but you don't need to set it like that) to be function-able. |
ok got it working try using the -u option for utc time and not local time , works on every thing i've tried around here so far!
rtcwake -d rtc0 -m mem -s 60 -u -v |
no way, even with geesh's suggestions.
At this point i think it's a matter of acpi-scripts. I will check in these days. Thanks a lot |
