I noticed something similar in Ubuntu Hardy - when LDM shutdown was
used, the system does not power back on via WoL. The issue seems to stem
from the command used (shutdown) in LDM itself and the commandline
options weren't sane for all systems. Here's what was said by Josh, the
guy I hired to look at this issue for me specifically:
---
I took a look in the ldm source code and it
looks like what you want fixed is line 98 from greeter.c:
g_spawn_command_line_async("/sbin/poweroff -p", error);
As you can see it is hard coded to run "/sbin/poweroff -p", which is
just a symlink to /sbin/halt that signifies -p flag. According to the
man pages there is no -p flag for poweroff, poweroff *means* halt
-p. I think the right thing to do would be to change the call to
"shutdown -h now" or just "init 0" or "halt -f" (since nothing really
needs to come down safely). "shutdown -h now" would be the best
solution in my eyes, but it really depends on the conversation in the
channel. If you want a quick fix you could write a shell script that
runs shutdown and put it in the place of poweroff. Actually fixing
would probably require changing the code, recompiling, and dropping a
diff on the mailing list (ldm is not open for public commits).
---
Hope that helps. I have modified Ubuntu Hardy packages if anyone would
like those, though they are definitely not official packages, yet the
only thing that was modified was the shutdown parms. I've installed it
on my own office network and it seems to be working fine.
Cheers,
