Total noob here. I recently bought a couple of Giada Cubes and have been trying to get the suspend/ resume working. The fix in the wiki requires a grub update. I have updated the file but when I try and run the command

sudo update- grub

I get

/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).

I'm running live from a bootable thumbdrive (created using the wizard) with one of the nightly builds.

What does it mean and how do I get rid of it?

Thanks

That sounds sticky. I have an alternate idea. In the past I have used a app called acpitool to handle resume and suspend. Messing with grub on a usb made from a wizard sounds like trouble. Or at least outside of grubs ability to detect.

Here is a man page on it:

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hard...ool.1.html

Available for all versions of ubuntu and does not require messing with grub.

What I dont know is how to make XBMC call"

Code:

acpitool -S

when the suspend button in the gui is pressed. Are you using live or a full linux install?

I am using LIVE from one of the nightly builds.

My problem isn't necessarily suspend and resume. After the first resume I get the autoresume bug (hit the suspend and it will suspend for half a second and then resume). This is apparently due to a bug with Nvidia smb bus on certain machines.

The fix is to Disable Usbcore Autosuspend as follows (from the wiki)

Add a boot option to grub to disable the usbcore autosuspend. This bug exhibits itself as immediately waking after suspension.
Edit /etc/default/grub and add usbcore.autosuspend=-1 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. Example:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash xbmc=autostart,noredir usbcore.autosuspend=-1"
Update grub:
sudo update-grub

as stated in the original post I can't run the grub update because of the following error
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)

I unfortunately do not know how to make the gui call the aciptool.

Figured it out. You need to edit this file

There are several sections that refer to the menu choices. The one you want is

menuentry "XBMCLive" {
set quiet=1
set gfxpayload="800x600"
linux /live/vmlinuz video=vesafb boot=live xbmc=autostart,nodiskmount splash quiet usbcore.autosuspend=-1 acpi_enforce_resources=lax loglevel=0 persistent quickreboot quickusbmodules notimezone noaccessibility noapparmor noaptcdrom noautologin noxautologin noconsolekeyboard nofastboot nognomepanel nohosts nokpersonalizer nolanguageselector nolocales nonetworking nopowermanagement noprogramcrashes nojockey nosudo noupdatenotifier nouser nopolkitconf noxautoconfig noxscreensaver nopreseed union=aufs
initrd /live/initrd.img
}

You can paste usbcore.autosuspend=-1 acpi_enforce_resources=lax in this section (You can see that I did it right after quiet splash. make sure there are spaces on both sides of the text).

PS- How do I edit the thread title to put solved i it and perhaps make a better description for anyone else who has this problem?
