XBMC Live vs. XBMC for Windows?

Quote:Yeah, too bad though that you can not resume from Suspend with the remote.

You can if you have an integrated iMon receiver/remote. I've got a Silverstone LC11B and the IR receiver has a pass-through for the power button (pwr button -> IR receiver -> mobo) and a constant power from the PSU, allowing the remote to turn on / off the PC. Is nice.

...yes I am THAT lazy that I do not want to get off the couch, hehe

I did not notice the suspend setting but will play with it. Is there a way we could get the system to wake without getting up? My XBMC machine is in a closet in a whole separate room (and I am probably lazier than you).

I don't know much about how suspend/resume works in Linux, as I have only desktops that I leave on all the time. However, I would prefer that my XBMC box not be running all the time.

Would LAN activity wake it? Could a mouse or keyboard event be mapped to the remote?

I can't tell you how to do it with remote but it's possible to do with Keyboard that I know, But there was someone on this forum that was able to wake ubuntu with remote and if he could explain how then I'm sure we could have it in XBMC Live gold.

I would personally love to be able to wake it from remote aswell.

This is completely untested in XBMC Live but if you want to try it that would be good (then we could include it in XBMC Live Atlantis gold)

alt+f1
cat /proc/acpi/wakeup

Note all the USBx (were x is a number)
and do
sudo su
(password is xbmc)
for all the numbers you had
echo USBx > /proc/acpi/wakeup

so ie
echo USB1 > /proc/acpi/wakeup

Now if only I knew how to speed up my pesky bios... Stupid PCI cards all have to display something!

FYI..
I tried this and confirmed that my USBx ports were "enabled".
I then proceeded to suspend my XBMC. The screen went black expect for a flashing cursor in the top left.
I could not wake up my system with my USB remote
