Hello I have a question about rc.local file.
I am running XBMC Live 9.11 on an Acer Revo 3610 and I am trying to get wake on USB working so I can turn the system on from my keyboard.
I have enabled wake on USB in the BIOS and I have read a guide on how to configure Ubuntu to do this. In order for the changes to take effect I have to add a line to my /etc/rc.local file.
This is the GUIDE I am trying to follow.
The issue is, after I reboot, my changes are lost. I used Unetbootin to make the Live ISO boot from a USB drive, even though, the .xbmc folder plus any files in it retain any changes on reboot, it seems the other folders and files get reset on every reboot. I did some testing and created some folders and files in the /etc/ folder and a few other places and sure enough they disappeared after reboot.
So then I tried to install some updates by running
sudo apt-get upgrade
And after reboot all changes were lost and it wanted to install the exact same packages.
So I am just wondering if anyone else got wake on USB working on the Live image and what method was used to do this.
Thanks for your help.
