[LIVE] Fully shutdown instead of sleep when press "Power" button from remote
#1
Hi All,

Another issue I have is:
When I press "Power" button from MCE remote control, system shut it self down instead of go sleep. Anybody have solution?

I'm using 9.11b2, and select "Sleep" from menu works.

Thanks a lot

Did you set it to do sleep on shutdown in the system settings? Believe it is under power management.

In settings there is a setting what your powerbutton should do, suspend should be there

Cheers,

Thanks for reply, will check once I back to home. Is it possible to check it from xml file? I have USB drive with me.

The one I found is: in "guisettings.xml", don't know what "shutdownstate" = 1 mean.

Code:
<powermanagement>
        <displaysoff>0</displaysoff>
        <shutdownstate>1</shutdownstate>
        <shutdowntime>0</shutdowntime>
    </powermanagement>

I'm pretty sure thats the setting, but I have no clue on the numbering, could be 2 for suspend.

Its visible in settings in gui atleast

Glad stumbled on to this. I have been looking to find a way to suspend/sleep myself. I was about to make a post. I know the S key will bing up the SHUTDOWN MENU, but I just want to press a key on it suspend/sleep.

Thank you that just worked for me! When pressing the power button now on my MCE remote the PC goes in to S3 Sleep rather than shutdown.

It seems I can only turn on the PC using the MCE remotes power button when the PC is in S3 Sleep mode.

It will not turn on the PC from S5 Shutdown for some reason? Ubuntu 12.10 Minimal with XBMC 12 RC3. I have a SoundGraph IR / VFD on an Antec Fusion 350 case.

Thanks

I actually have the same problem with XBMCbuntu (also have Antec case), I believe it has to do with the LCD screen not powering down properly.

Does your LCD panel on the case turn off completely when you shutdown the PC?

I haven't actually got the VFD display working at all yet, I am stuck on how to do that? I only just got my MCE remote working the other day, trying to fix some buttons that aren't working on the remote, like DVD menu does not take me to the XBMC movies library. I just fixed the Green Button a moment ago.

Thanks

Yeah, I am in the exact same spot as you with the LCD. Still have not got it to display any text.
