Hey all,

I noticed a update over the weekend on the bedroom machine of which I run mythbuntu 8.10 and it was at svn 17292 quite old.

Anyhow, the linux upgrade was a major including a kernel image to 2.6.27-14 and a large amount of libs including pm-utils so at the same time I figured I would update xbmc.

I knew it would be painful all around and it was.

after the reboot of the linux upgrades, I had no sound upgraded to Alsa 1.0.20 fixed it or video updated my Nvidia Binary fixed it, and with the pm-utils upgrade I lost my network on resume as well as irexec which I use for fast swtiching off the LiveTV button between myth and xbmc.

So I found an updated network pm-utils script for the network manager in 8.10 after a bunch of searching. currently in /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d you may have a 10NetworkManager. A new script has been created and it is working for me. You should move your 10NetworkManager script somewhere else on the system for back-up purposes and then create 55NetworkManager and issue a sudo chmod +x on it.

here is the script, try this only if you are having resume network issues, in my case if I suspend and resumed within 3 minutes all was fine and if any longer it would not restart the network. I did try to create a start/stop network scripts in /etc/pm with no luck.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# If we are running NetworkManager, tell it we are going to sleep.
# TODO: Make NetworkManager smarter about how to handle sleep/resume
#       If we are asleep for less time than it takes for TCP to reset a
#       connection, and we are assigned the same IP on resume, we should
#       not break established connections.  Apple can do this, and it is
#       rather nifty.

. "${PM_FUNCTIONS}"

suspend_nm()
{
        # Tell NetworkManager to shut down networking
        dbus_send --system --print-reply                         \
                --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager  \
                /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager        \
                org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.sleep 2>&1 > /dev/null
}

resume_nm()
{
        # Wake up NetworkManager and make it do a new connection
        dbus_send --system  --print-reply             \
                --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager \
                /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager       \
                org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.wake 2>&1 > /dev/null
}

case "$1" in
        hibernate|suspend)
                suspend_nm
                ;;
        thaw|resume)
                resume_nm
                ;;
        *) exit $NA
                ;;
esac

Next was irexec which was fine on a reboot but not after a suspend, I already have a resume script that pm-utils calls on resume, so in the script just before it launches the myth frontend I added irexec -d and all is fine.

I spent a lot of time trying to upgrade my svn version of xbmc and could not get past the direct rendering error on start up. I installed all the deps from the readme.linux, tried the dep-build from the ppa and installed mingetty and mesa-utils with no luck.

I added the ppa's for 9.04 and the marley ppa for libvdpau which I still could not find. I ended up getting the nvidia-180-libvdpau files from JY Avenard's web-site which is also a great resource for adding vdpau to myth .21 if you want to. here is the link to his repository page.

Hope this may help someone, if you get into the network issue from resume. This is with Mythbuntu 8.10 or Intrepid.

Have Fun,

Dave

I just added

SUSPEND_MODULES="forcedeth"

to /etc/pm/config.d/local

Saw it in another thread, seems a little simpler. Perhaps this thread should be renamed to something more descriptive, otherwise its not useful to anyone.
