Is there a way to set Kubuntu up so that it wakes up automatically from sleep mode upon ssh connection attempt? I know there is something like WoL, but that's not what I need (am I right?).

  • I think you need WOL to do it

Before ssh, you have to send a wol magic package from a machine which is in the same lan with your kubuntu system. it depends on what device you have, it can be a computer or router. for ubuntu, you can install "wakeonlan".

make sure you have wol enabled in your motherboard's bios settings

    It dont really need to be in the same LAN. You can send Magic packets over the internet.

For those running Tomato by Shibby, other Tomato based, or OpenWRT firmware on their router, you could write a little script to automatically wake up any PC on your local network that receives a new connection on its SSH port. I've written about this on my blog and the code is on github gist.
