Hey all,
I have a Kodi/Openbox (no desktop environment) setup in Ubuntu 16.04 as described in Fritsch's thread here.
Wake on USB is one of those thorny things I've never been able to get to work. There are a bunch of guides out there for older versions of Ubuntu, but none of them ever wound up working for me, and now that 16.04 is out, the methods may even be different.
Has anyone gotten wake on USB (preferably with WMC remote, but keyboard would help too) to work properly?
My desired outcome is as follows:
1.) System is put in sleep (not hibernate) mode either manually using keyboard/remote or automatically by system timeout.
2.) Keyboard and remote can be used to wake the system again without having to press the power button.
I know it can seem lazy to not want to get up and press the power button, but my Kodi box is actually two floors down in the basement, displaying on the TV with remove HDMI over Ethernet and USB over Ethernet adapters. It would be nice to be able to save power, and allow it to go to sleep, but I can only do that if I can get remote wake to work.
Appreciate any help, or suggestions!
