Porteus

Hi. Porteus Kiosk works perfectly for me except for wake from suspend.

I'm initially trying to use the rtc_wake parameter to wake from suspend (S3 state) in this way: It doesn't seem to work as expected for me so, I've tried to troubleshoot via SSH with these steps:

Clear the wakealarm: Add a wakealarm for 3 minutes from now: Display the results: I enter the results in https://www.epochconverter.com to verify it added the correct time 3 minutes from now.

Suspend the machine: The machine does not wake on its own 3 minutes later. It will only wake by pressing the keyboard.

I booted the same machine into Lubuntu 23.04, followed the same steps as above and it wakes after 3 minutes as expected.

Any thoughts on why it doesn't wake as expected in Porteus Kiosk 5.5?

Thanks much!

Hello gplben,

Does it wake if you power off the PC completely?

Thanks

Fanthom,
After a few hours of frustration, I believe that I've determined that it was UTC that was throwing me off and the rtc_wake parameter is now working.

I had initially put into my config because the hardware clock was 4 hours off when I'd look at the BIOS.

I put that command in there only after I noticed that rtc_wake was not working. I think I was not patient enough initially, because I think Porteus Kiosk runs the RTC wake script every 60 seconds after booting. I wasn't waiting that long in my troubleshooting.

At least I think something like that was happening.

Thanks for taking the time to respond, but I believe all is well now!
