"S3" is for the low-power mode we usually refer to as "Sleep", and "S5" is for when the computer is completely turned off ("Shutdown"). Since this article is about TeamViewer, the app needs some extra configuration, too, to be able to wake up your computers remotely. In the network adapter's driver settings.So, to use Wake on LAN, you must ensure all related features are enabled:
However, we need it to make the most amount of use from Teamviewer. After all, what's the point of trying to remote control the second PC in your local area network if you have to turn it on in person?Īs an extra security measure, Wake on LAN is usually disabled by default. Still, it's worth a bit of time and effort, for, without it, solutions like TeamViewer are often rendered redundant. Unfortunately, setting up Wake on LAN is not as simple as turning a single switch on. Once complete, you should be able to save the change to the nf file mentioned above.To do this, we're going to be using a tool called "Wake on LAN." This will let us wake up a PC using a special "wake-up packet" over the local network. When you run that line it will ask for your password. To give yourself permission, open the terminal and type this: Otherwise, first you must give yourself sudo permission for this folder. If you are familiar with a terminal file editor, such as vim, simply open this file using the editor with sudo: sudo vim /etc/gdm3/nf That sounds simple, but if you have just installed the default Ubuntu, you don't have permission to make changes to this file.
Then restart the computer and connect with TeamViewer. In that config file look for this line: # Uncomment the line below to force the login screen to use XorgĪll you have to do is delete the # to uncomment the WaylandEnable=false. To change to the X11 GNOME, you need to make a simple change to config file. Of course that doesn't work for Unmanned Kiosks or IOT machines. So the problem with a default install of Ubuntu is the Wayland GNOME requires a user at the desktop to accept the TeamViewer connection.
