I've been re-purposing my Mac Pro 3,1 (2008) to be a server using docker and Ubuntu Server 18.04.2. I'm trying to get wake on lan to work, as this is a really power-hungry machine and I would rather not let it run all the time.

Everything I can find shows how to enable WOL with macOS, however I have completely removed macOS and now only have Ubuntu server.

Is there some way I can enable WOL using some sort of bios or single user mode or something like that. Or, alternately, is there a way to do this software-only using something like pm-suspend and some other set of tools?

Thanks!

  • Have you installed ethtool on the Ubuntu server? Please edit your question above and copy and paste the output of sudo ethtool <nic> where is the device name of your nic, something like eth0. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WakeOnLan for details and update your question. – user68186 Jul 18 '19 at 17:37
