[Asrock] Resume suspend mode, is it possible with IR?

Yup, thats it!

I just did it on my ASRock 1 minute ago, and it now suspends and resumes complete as planned, and it works when rebooted and such.

I remember reading something about /etc/lirc/hardware.conf having some settings to ensure that it works on resume, but I'm really not sure.

This is the contents of mine:

REMOTE="Windows Media Center Transceivers/Remotes (all)"
REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_mceusb"
REMOTE_DRIVER=""
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
REMOTE_SOCKET=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb"
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""
TRANSMITTER="None"
TRANSMITTER_MODULES=""
TRANSMITTER_DRIVER=""
TRANSMITTER_DEVICE=""
TRANSMITTER_SOCKET=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS=""
START_LIRCD="true"
START_LIRCMD=""
LOAD_MODULES=""
LIRCMD_CONF=""
FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"

If that is not the case, then maybe somewhere in the fabled /etc/apm/resume.d folder (seems like some symlink jazz like the rc.d stuff)

Ok, add the wakeup line to rc.local like I did above. Now follow the guide here there is one significant error in the guide though.

You want to scroll down until you get to the part titled "S3 resume combo Close button fix", the first bullet says "Using your SFTP client, create the file /etc/pm/resume.d/99lirc-resume.sh", the correct placement of the file you create is in /etc/pm/sleep.d/99lirc-resume.sh

Everything works great now! Thanks for the help guys. long live XBMC!

I thought I had it, it appears that I now suffer from the instant resume after suspend, the asrock appears to suspend but it immediately wakes up right after.

Tried adding the usbcore.autosuspend stuff to my grub file with no change.

I was on nvidia 185 drivers, tried upgrading to the latest with no change.

frustrating... that is the only problem I am finding with the linux version so far is that there are sooo many little tweaks you have do to it and so much reading when you are new to it. Sometimes it is fun, and sometimes you want to smash your head against a wall!

any thoughts?

....Bueller?

Thank you for pointing that out. Resume.d was for the old-school /etc/acpi. I screwed up when I wrote that. Changed.

I want to add that this guide I wrote should resolve all your issues

http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=Create_a_resume_script

[brownstein]

thanks, that is a great tutuorial, however, it does not solve my latest issue about the asrock resuming from suspend immediately after suspending.

Check your bios to make sure you have S3 enabled. What version of ubuntu are you using?

[outleradam]

remove that wakeup script and try my method.

Thanks outleradam,
Using Jaunty, S3 is enabled, well it is set to AUTO, only other option is DISABLED.

Will try removing the resume script and trying your method when I get home. I didn't see a difference between the resume script I used and the one that your method produces. Can you point out what will be done differently?
