How can I wake up my PC with any key
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
My external keyboard does not have a suspend button. Is there any way I can set up Ubuntu to use a different key (or any key for that matter) to wake the PC if it has been suspended.

If you run the following command you will see a list of usb devices and if they are enabled to wake up the system.
cat /proc/acpi/wakeup
You will see a list of items such as the the one seen below.
USB0 S3 *disabled pci:0000:00:12.0
Once you have established which device is the keyboard lets say USB0 run this command.
sudo su
echo USB0 > /proc/acpi/wakeup
Now if you run the command from the start again you should see enabled next to the device.
USB0 S3 *enabled pci:0000:00:12.0
That worked for me, I can wake up my desktop with any key.
Details on the wakeup codes for devices can be found here. (Link courtesy of Santhana Krishnan

It worked like a charm - Thank you very much. My USB keyboard was called UAR1, so I suppose chances are good that USB devices always start with a 'U', but the rest can be anything.

How do I establish which device is the keyboard? If I try "lsusb" I get a list of devices, but they have different IDs. There's no "USB0" or anything like the /proc/acpi/wakeup lists as device IDs.
