When running systemctl poweroff WOL does not work. Same for systemctl suspend, systemctl hibernate, etc. Running sudo systemctl poweroff etc. results in WOL working properly.

Also after stopping the machine without sudo Wake-on is set to d instead of g.

So the problem is that Wake-on is only set to g when stopping the machine as root. Why is that?

WOL is btw configured through NetworkManager.

I'm running Ubuntu 21.10.

Could you [edit] your question to include the version of Ubuntu you're running? Without knowing this, proposed answers may be incorrect ... – matigo Jan 19 '22 at 00:03
