Bug seems to be solved, at least on my Amilo 1650G and on my desktop (both with Intrepid updated daily). In particular, "/proc/acpi/alarm" disappeared while "/sys/class/rtc/rt0/wakealarm" finally appeared and works well.
This means if I give (notice my hardware clock is set to UTC+2) the following commands: echo 0 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm echo `date '+%s' -d '+ 125 minutes'` > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm then cat /proc/driver/rtc returns the correct information, and the computer actually wakes up after 5 minutes. Please notice that: -> instructions were taken from http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/ACPI_Wakeup#Using_.2Fsys.2Fclass.2Frtc.2Frtc0.2Fwakealarm -> "cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm" returns nothing (don't know if it's normal) -> the behaviour of /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm is different from /proc/acpi/alarm one since it will discard calls for alarms in the past (while the latter would just record them, even if they are useless), so, on my computer (remember, UTC+2), the call echo `date '+%s' -d '+ 5 minutes'` > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm just doesn't change anything in the output of cat /proc/driver/rtc ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Released -- [regression] acpi "alarm" (wake from sleep) doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213240 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
