I am also wondering what state (hibernate/suspend/powered off) the computer is in that you are saying that a certain moggy can wake it from. I don't use this feature but I know it can appear in the BIOS as a wake on feature. I will test mint 18 out shortly though.	Kame (312)

I like using it as it starts quicker & goes to sleep if I leave it on. The only reference to S3 in the BIOS is wakeup on lan or not. Its easy enough to disable the wakeup on keyboard & mouse in windows, so must be a way to do it on mint. I would most likely get more response if I posted this on the Linux forums. But having sort help there before, usually get a extremely complicated solution.	Driftwood (5551)

Sure, it saves energy, but is it worth it? Your moggy reasons however are justified. May be better to look at the 'Wake' options in the BIOS and disable keyboard or USB events.	Paul.Cov (425)
