![]() Now to suspend the machine so we can test it out. So, as you might guess, we changed the Wake-On-LAN setting to listen for MagicPacket messages. I haven't really tested this out, but I'll document how to make it permanent later, anyway. The ethtool will turn on Wake-On-LAN, but (supposedly) everytime you reboot the machine it will reset to disabled. Now that I knew it was supported, it was time to try it out. that would be waking it up all the time, but since one feature of Wake-On-LAN is that it only wakes the machine when it gets the "Magic Packet", only the g and d options matter. I don't have many devices on my network, so I don't know that there's a lot of broadcasts, multicasts, etc. There's an additional option which is what the interface was set on – d – as you can see in the last line of the output. The man-page for ethtool tell you what that cryptic pumbg means - the letters are different options that this interface supports for Wake-On-LAN. The important lines in the output is near the bottom and it looks something like this if it supports Wake-On-LAN. Now to check if it supports Wake-On-LAN.Įthtool will give you some information if you don't run it as root but for Wake-On-LAN you need to run it as root. I'm waking it up from the LAN so the IP address isn't so important, and to be able to SSH into it I need to know it anyway, so it's really those two pieces of information that I need. Additionally, the machine that I used to wake up the machine needs the MAC address ( 38:d5:47:79:ab:0b) so it'd be useful to write that down someplace. My machine shows four interfaces so I'll just show the output for the interface I'm interested in rather than the whole output for the command.Įthtool uses the name of the interface, in this case it's enp4s0, so we'll need to note that. ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygments' First, find the name of your ethernet interface.įile "/home/hades/.local/bin/pygmentize", line 5, in From what I've read, not all ethernet interfaces support Wake-On-LAN (although I've never seen one that doesn't) so a quick check might be useful.
