Running v17 Beta6 on Arch Linux. When I setup the power savings to power down the HDMI connected TV after 5 min, it does go into standby mode, but it does not wake up with lirc input as v16 did. This box usually does not have a keyboard connected. I did connect one for testing and in this case, pressing the arrow keys does wake up the screen, but the screensaver is frozen and I cannot see the GUI.

Full debug log.

Retry with the modesetting driver please instead of the intel xorg driver - does that work?

Hi fritsch. Thanks for the quick reply. I am looking in the Arch repos for that package 'modeset' but finding nothing... What might that driver be called? For reference, currently using: xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+736+gbde9460-1

Kodi is started via this systemd.service:

Code:

% cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/kodi.service
[Unit]
Description=Starts instance of Kodi using xinit
After=systemd-user-sessions.service network.target sound.target mysqld.service

Just remove the xf86-video-intel driver it should fallback to the modesetting driver which is shipped with xorg.

@fritsch - Removing the driver follow by a reboot rendered kodi unable to start without first creating /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config that contains "needs_root_rights = yes" to use this driver.

Unfortunately, using it did not help the issue: lirc still does not wake and hitting a key on the board does wake, but leaves the screensaver in a frozen state. Complete debug log using the modesetting driver.

Oki, then nothing I can do for you. Can you verify the same issue happens with LibreELEC (Milhouse builds)?

[graysky]

I will try putting a build onto a spare partition and testing. I have never used this distro before so I just grabbed the latest tarball and will figure it out... LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.0-Milhouse-20161204210243-#1204-gba84b5c.

Stay tuned.

I first tested on the official image (LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-7.90.008) off the USB in live mode. I cannot configure lirc (don't see where or how) but I did:
1) Set the dim screensaver.
2) Set the TV to sleep in 5 min.

3 times in a row, the HDMI cut the signal to the TV as expected and woke up with a keypress on the keyboard. LibreELEC.kodi.log (I could only enable debugging once the GUI started since it's on the USB).

I rebooted into my Arch install and:
1) Set the dim screensaver (not the digital clock screensaver I originally used).
2) Set the TV to sleep in 5 min.
3) Using the modesetting driver not intel driver as I was originally.

3 times in a row lirc could wake up (took 2-3 button presses) and the screensaver was not crashed.

Conclusion: Either the digital clock screensaver + intel driver or the digital clock screensaver by itself was causing the problem all along.

Thank you for the help, fritsch.

LibreELEC uses the intel driver.
