Macmini (2012) wakeup from suspend with apple remote is broken

  • Hi,

    I am running LE 7.0.3 on my Macmini (late 2012 model) and am verry happy with it !!
    However one thing is bugging me for already a year now.
    Since OE 6 and LE the wakeup from suspend using my apple remote is no longer working, while it used to work fine in OE 5 (after applying the instructions in this thread).
    Now when my Macmini is suspended (white led on the front is blinking) and I press the apple remote then I notice that the led stops blinking and stays on, but my screen stays black/blank and everything seems to be frozen (also connecting with ssh is then not possible anymore). The only thing I can do is to switch off and on the power.

    I have posted the problem before on the OE forum but it didn't lead to a solution, so I thought I will try a new post.
    Any help, suggestions or fix are more then welcome. I really hope this can be fixed in LE 8.
    Happy to provide any further information or perform instructions or testing on request.

    One thing I noticed is that the "cat /proc/acpi/wakeup" command shows S4 state for all listed devices, and this used to be S3 before.
    Maybe this is related to the problem??

    Macmini:~ # cat /proc/acpi/wakeup

  • Our 7.0 branch is now closed to all development apart from add-on updates so anything testing/poking you do should be on Krypton builds.

  • Hi,

    Please share your installation experience.
