I'm currently unable to power/suspend/hibernate my HTPC running XBMC.

My system is a standalone XBMC install over an Arch Linux installation.

uname -a :

Code:

Linux htpc 3.0-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 17 21:55:57 CEST 2011 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU 530 @ 2.93GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

I've followed the information found here, step by step, in order to boot directly into XBMC.

It seems that upower isn't working correctly. The following snippet of my xbmc.log file (under debugging mode) shows the action taken when trying to suspend. It must also be noted that the same information shows when I use XBMC.Shutdown().

Code:

15:53:25 T:140138751723584 M:3813806080   DEBUG: LIRC: Update - NEW at 76698:0001007400000001 00 KEY_POWER imon (KEY_POWER)

15:53:25 T:140138751723584 M:3813806080   DEBUG: CAnnouncementManager - Announcement: Suspend from xbmc

The full log can be found here.

Basically, I can either press the remote power button directly, or select shutdown or suspend in the menu, and nothing will happen. The screen remains the same and I can still use XBMC as if nothing happens.

I was wondering if someone else has this issue, and has any pointers on how to fix it?

I am also having a similar issue.
Please help

Yeah I have the problem sometimes on a Dharma install running nightly builds. SSHing in and doing a reboot or shutdown immediately shutdown the system or reboot it, but from inside XBMC it is a no go most of the time.

I know my post lack any useful information for the devs at all. Just stating I have the same problem. :-P

First place you should look is the Arch forum... You can bet on it this kind of issue already popped up before.

Thanks .:B:.

I read your post on the Arch Linux forums and that solved my problem.

I had to install mingetty from the AUR and modify my login process as outlined in the post your linked.
