Linux [Howto] XBMCBuntu - Fix for networking issues after wake

mac666 · 2012-04-24 22:25

Just a tip for you guys that are having trouble (the same as i had) with xbmcbuntu and wake,
My xbmc couldnt connect to my nas anymore after waking it from suspend.
The error i got from xbmc would be something like "Error Fetching list" or "Couldn't load list"

The log would say:

Code:

unix_err:'6e' error : 'Connection timed out'

Seemed as there was a host lookup issue after wake,
so what you need to do is to add the host manually to /etc/hosts

SSH to the xbmc machine, or go to TTY1 if its possible (havent tried)

Code:

sudo nano /etc/hosts

Add a line with the nas (or other network device host) IP and hostname.
Eg

Code:

192.168.1.5        NAS

The white spaces are suppose to be a TAB.
