Thanks for the tips kokangit, your solution works for me. Should do till they work out the cause.

Cheers,

I have found that my MCE remote will work to power this box on, but only if the box was shut down properly within Ubuntu, If something plays up and I have to power off by holding down the front panel button, I can't power back up with the remote.

Yes, it wrks for me, too... If you switch off the power supply compeltely, it's not possible to power on after some time as well...

I've got recently also an Asus s1-at5nm10e and I bought a (mce clone) remote, something cheap from ebay, a VRC-1100. When I plug in the usb receiver from the remote then I can control xbmc, but not all the buttons are working. If I want to activate the contextmenu then that's not working.

But now I was wondering, the at5nm10e has an ir receiver built in, can I use the cheap remote to control the built in IR receiver and switch on the htpc ?

Now I was on my way to try the "XBMC on Asus S1-AT5NM10E how to" but I discovered that it is for kernel 2.6.32-25 and I have 2.6.32-26-generic.

So what can I do to make this work ?


EDIT: Some people here did power up their S1-AT5NM10E with an MCE remote, I have a Logitech Harmony 525 and I added a MCE 1039 remote to my Harmony remote.
And it's possible to power up the ASUS barebone. I had to test this
But I will not use this Harmony remote with the Asus Barebone.

similar problem here:
i've a cheap hama remote but can't get it working on the default reciever.
With its reciever i can use it, but some funcion are missing and can't startup or shutdown the machine (i can shut it down with menu)

Check this out http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/8827

[tefnut]

thnaks for the info,
how can i install this pack? this will not let me use this device without the external reciever right?

[andlinux]

As far as I know, you can only use it with the external receiver.

To install it, take a look at this page: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=91620&page=2

[andlinux]

Ok, I finally solved the problem that my S1-AT5NM10E doesn't go to Suspend/Hibernate mode...

for those of you who are interested in the solution (Ubuntu Maverick):
You have to put xhci_hcd onto the blacklist.

Create the file /etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules (if it doesn't exist) and add this:

PHP Code:

SUSPEND_MODULES="$SUSPEND_MODULES xhci_hcd" 


The file has to be executable:

PHP Code:

sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules 


Hope this helps...

Kind regards

The last most imported thing wouldn't work and that's going to suspend/hibernate. I tried the thing above but it didn't work for me.

I also tried something else, see link http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Ubu...untu_Linux

But with no luck

Can anyone tell me exactly what to do to install LIRC on the S1?

I've followed what's written in http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...references
but I first need to install LIRC... which remote control configuration do I have to choose?

I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 64 bits, with xbmc Dharma.

First error I get is when installing lirc:
sudo apt-get install lirc
...
Loading new nct677x-1.0.4 DKMS files...
First Installation: checking all kernels...
Building only for 2.6.35-27-generic
Building for architecture x86_64
Building initial module for 2.6.35-27-generic

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 2.6.35-27-generic (x86_64)
...

[Gabzor]

I managed to make it work using the good files for 64 bits ubuntu.

I also have the problem about it not working after a reboot, so I tried this:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=713...stcount=41

but it didn't work.

After some testing, I managed to make it work after a reboot by adding in /etc/rc.local:

sed -e 's/^FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"$/FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="true"/' /etc/lirc/hardware.conf > /tmp/h.conf
chmod +x /tmp/h.conf
mv /tmp/h.conf /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
dpkg-reconfigure lirc
/etc/init.d/lirc stop
modprobe -r lirc_wb677
modprobe lirc_wb677

[marnix]

LIRC didn't seem to work with my setup (Harmony 300i). XBMCFreak 10.1 Lucid livecd has ASRock ion330 remote support, so I thought it would've worked right away...

dmesg | grep -i lirc gave version disagreements and the daemon didn't work.

Fortunately a site on the ion 330 HT did provide the solution. Might anyone have a similar problem, here's the link:
(http://doityourselfhtpc.com/2010/12/22/a...xbmc-live/).

[jbierste]

Perfect! I added the lines in the rc.local, and now after a reboot my Harmony 600 works like a charm.

I did had some response problems with the harmony (either to slow, or way to fast). I now have setup the harmony as an ASRock ION 330HT in the Harmony software, and now the response is perfect! No need for an external IR receiver!

[stefanvh]

Hi,

Thanks for all the useful information in here.

I've successfully managed to get the IR to work on the asus s1, but noticed something that doesn't seem 'right'.

When the rc.local file only contains the exit statement, it's possible to enter terminal using ctrl+alt+f1.

After the lirc reconfiguration statements, this is no longer the case. I now have to use ctrl+alt+f2.

Any idea why this is?

Oh, and I cannot get the hibernate to work either. It apparently tries, as the screen goes blank for a few seconds before showing XBMC again.

Thanks,
Stefan

p.s normal shutdown works fine except for the high frequency noise i'm hearing (perhaps i should live with that until i'm older and can't hear as well )

[esa66]

Hi,
I read some post to know how to configure the ASUS S1 and his CIR chips : nuvoton W83667HG.
But, without result. That's why i ask your help.

http://old.nabble.com/Running-LIRC-on-As...94i20.html

What I finally understand, is that the drivers in the Kernel don't support this chips but well the new one : W83677HG.

Finally, I don't understand if there is a patch to make the old chips working ?
I seems there is a new version , but I don't know if it is implemented in my Linux version ?
In this case, is it possible to have the sources to place above /usr/src/linux/drivers/media/rc/
I don't know if it is possible to recompile only the modules ?

My Gentoo Kernel :

uname -r => 2.6.39-gentoo-r3

What is the procedure to make this working ?

• I don't understand what I must enable in the BIOS.
  
• I don't understand what I must set in the file /etc/conf.d/lirc
  

My actual setting in the BIOS

#egrep "LIRC|CONFIG_IR" .config
CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=y
CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING=y
# CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING is not set
# CONFIG_IRDA is not set

# CONFIG_IR_WINBOND_CIR is not set
# CONFIG_LIRC_STAGING is not set
# CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER is not set

Driver is loaded :

lsmod | grep ir

rc_core 10917 7 ir_lirc_codec,ir_sony_decoder,ir_jvc_decoder,ir_rc6_decoder,ir_rc5_decoder,ir_nec_decoder,nuvoton_cir

But, drivers generate a error when detecting the chips and thus, I don't understand if the driver is working ?? :

# dmesg | grep cir
[ 5.585537] nuvoton_cir: w836x7hg: unsupported chip, id: 0xa5 0x13
[ 5.585716] nuvoton-cir 00:0a: disabled

Following the Drivers info, this driver must work with the two chips 667 && 677 :
