This is my first post on a forum, so I hope it ends up in the right section. I am running an asus chromebox, standalone with mythbuntu. I have it set up to use pm-suspend and mythtv sets an alarm to wake up for recordings. I can also wakeup using my remote power button and on resume in both cases my external HDD remounts to /var/lib/mythtv successfully with a custom script. (will share if anyone needs this).
My problem is that when in suspend, if power is lost there is no auto power on, and the alarm set by mythtv (or manually) no longer works.
Is their a way for the bios to auto boot on power on?
thanks in advance
the current firmware programming is to restore the AC state when power is lost if the unit is powered on, if it's in suspend I'm not sure that the behavior is defined. For some commercial clients I've tweaked the firmware behavior to power on any time AC power is applied, perhaps this would work for your situation as well. Feel free to PM me about it if so.

I want to thank Matt first for his fantastic work. I followed the instructions in the first post and I got ubuntu 14.04 and kodi (standalone installation) in my asus chromebox and everything works like a charm.
However I got some very disturbing video bugs (eg. https://www.reddit.com/r/xbmc/comments/2..._continues) in the kodi installation that it seems to be fixed by updating linux kernel and/or installing the new intel graphics drivers. Anyway, I spent some time surfing in internet looking for information for updating the ubuntu distro to 15.04 or 14.10 but I felt completely lost. I mean, there is a simple way to performing this? My first try was using the "software updater" inner tool of ubuntu distribution but, and I although ticked the "notify me of a new Ubuntu version" to "For any new version", I only got that my system was updated.
I fell lost. Does it means I'd have to run all the process described in the first post (removing the current installation)?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated
(sorry for my broken english)
my recommendation would be to stick with Ubuntu 14.04, but manually update to a more current kernel which incorporates the driver updates and other relevant fixes. 14.10 and 15.04 will offer nothing particularly useful on their own. Here's an example of how to update the kernel: http://media-opensource.blogspot.com/201...l-415.html. (Disclaimer: I don't run Ubuntu / haven't tested this myself). Then update to the latest stable Kodi release (15.1)
