I know, Lucid is still not official. I gave it a try, setting up as a setop-box following XBMCBuntu Wiki guide. Everything works very well (even ALSA via Alsa upgrade script), except that good old Linux issue: suspend.

Suspend does not work properly. I can put the system to suspend to ram state with pm-suspend command. But it will not go to suspend from within XBMC, using the suspend button from Confluence.

My "production" system is safely running Jaunty, which has excelent suspend/resume behaviour (unlike Karmic), while I am testing Lucid on a test machine.

So, has anybody here, installing a XBMCBuntu-like system, managed to have suspend working porperly?

My specs:
Mobo: Gygabyte GA-E7AUM-DS2H, SATA HDD, no USB devices, XBox DVD Receiver + Harmony, 2Gb RAM, Lucid Lynx Minimal ISO install.

You did this?

[rbonon]

Sure. I did it all. It did not work for me on Lucid. It worked like a charm on Jaunty.

As soon as Lucid is released, I'll install it and try to figure out what has changed.

Aparently they removed HAL, and that may have some impacts on how power management is done.

From XBMC Wiki suspend page, this line will not work as expected

Code:

sudo apt-get install policykit-1 devicekit-power

as the devicekit-power does not exist in Lucid, and so, the subsequent instructions need to be adpated to Lucid (something related to upower instead).

I am trying Jaunty, Karmic and Lucid, as I would like to have SVN, ALSA Audio over HDMI Multichannel and Suspend working. Situation is like this:

Jaunty: HDMI OK, Suspend OK, XBMC SVN repository broken
Karmic: SVN OK, Suspend OK, HDMI not working
Lucid: SVN OK, HDMI OK, Suspend not working
