LE 11.0.4 power off (suspend) problem - 2 different NUCs

**blueribb** · December 23, 2023 at 9:32 PM

I was previously using 11.0.3 on these 2 older NUCs. After updating to 11.0.4 today, both NUCs fail to power off (suspend) properly. The shut-down menu comes up instead of going into SUSPEND. I rolled back to 11.0.3 and they are both back to normal.

I tried both 11.0.4 Generic and Generic-Legacy

To shutdown instantly instead, create this /storage/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml:

Code

<keymap>
    <global>
        <keyboard>
            <power>shutdown</power>
        </keyboard>
    </global>
</keymap>

I have both NUCs set to use SUSPEND when the power button on my remote is pressed. Before I go to the trouble of creating that file, why would anyone be required to make that change? I don't see the point.

How did you do that?

Settings - System - Power Saving - Shutdown Function - Suspend

I have been using SUSPEND for many years. It's the only way I can power on my 2 NUCs with a remote.

I see. Post #2 should work for you. I'm using that XML on RPi.

PS: Before you can try this: Change from "Suspend" to something else, reboot, and go back to "Suspend". Maybe it's just a config mismatch, and LE 11.0.4 now uses a different key for "Suspend".

This is supposed to be used with Shutdown function timer. It works as intended.

I will attempt to restate my problem.

With 11.0.3 and all previous versions - when I pressed the remote control's power button (set to SUSPEND in LE as stated above), my Intel NUCs would enter the SUSPEND mode.

With 11.0.4 - both NUCs display the "power menu" instead of entering SUSPEND when I press my remote's power button.

Clearly, something was changed in 11.0.4 causing this issue. It can't just be me.

Sometimes new config options change the "key values" of a setting menu. That's why I suggest the above.

Another approach is to delete the cache: rm -rf /storage/.cache

**blueribb** · December 23, 2023 at 11:22 PM

Why would someone change the key value for POWER?

**Da Flex** · December 23, 2023 at 11:31 PM

Internal unification maybe.

**blueribb** · December 23, 2023 at 11:45 PM

I reinstalled 11.0.4 and tried the suggestion in post #2 and it did not work.

Pressing my remote's power button still brings up the power saving menu (shown below)

- Power off system

- Custom shutdown timer

- Suspend

- Reboot

Without the file in post #2, when I pressed the power button on my remote, the power saving menu comes up with "Custom shutdown timer" selected. With the file installed, the same happens with "Power off system" selected. I don't want this menu to appear at all. It should just go directly to SUSPEND like it always did with previous LE versions.

Any other suggestions?

Delete the cache now, and reboot.

**blueribb** · December 24, 2023 at 1:02 AM

I've had it for today. I will stay with 11.0.3 and try again at a later date.

Thanks

This change was made in LE12: https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/8161 and backported to LE11 in https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/8180 before LE 11.0.4 was tagged/shipped.

According to the patch/change, using "Shutdown()" as the mapped button command should restore the previous behaviour.

I had the same "problem" or better behavior.
I solved it using the keymap editor to edit "Global -> System -> Shutdown" (I hope SHUTDOWN is the right translation for german AUSSCHALTEN).
Now by pressing the PowerOff Button on my harmony-remote the NUC is powering off in the "old way".

Do I have to play with the Keymap Editor (ugh), or is there another (easier) way to fix this? Can I modify the file in post #2 to fix it?

It is not difficult to use the keymap editor

- Find Global - System - shutdown

- press Edit and press button on remote

Result here:

a gen.xml in ..../userdata/keymaps

Code

<keymap><global><keyboard><key id="196">shutdown</key></keyboard></global></keymap>
