I have chased this and now have a solution.

The problem was that when I suspended the system it immediately resumed. Lots og Googling and many a dead end but I discovered that the issue was to do with XHC [I didn't have XHCI]. Looking at /proc/acpi/wakeup I had:

XHC       S3    *enabled   pci:0000:00:14.0

I disabled it:

echo XHC > /proc/acpi/wakeup

This allowed suspend to work BUT the remote & USB keyboard didn't cause a resume and I had to physically press the power button. Both my remote and keyboard are USB connected. A bit more digging and I started to question the setting of EHC1 & EHC2, both were disabled in /proc/acpi/wakeup

EHC1      S3    *disabled  pci:0000:00:1d.0
EHC2      S3    *disabled

I enabled both:

echo EHC1 > /proc/acpi/wakeup
echo EHC2 > /proc/acpi/wakeup

Suspend worked as did resume when pressing a remote control key or USB keyboard key. I refined this to discover that only EHC1 effected my remote & USB keyboard . Of course my changed settings were lost after a reboot.

Time to systemd.

I created a service wakeControl.service in .config/systemd:

[Unit]
Description=wakeControl
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c "echo XHC >> /proc/acpi/wakeup"
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c "echo EHC1 >> /proc/acpi/wakeup"

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I enabled this service and started it:

systemctl enable wakeControl.service
systemctl start wakeControl.service

/proc/acpi/wakeup now had this:

EHC1      S3    *enabled   pci:0000:00:1d.0
EHC2      S3    *disabled
XHC       S3    *disabled  pci:0000:00:14.0

Happily this state remained after a reboot.

Hi, looks like I made a newbie mistake with cp, annoying as I am not new to Linux and of course I didn't check.

I now have solved my suspend and resume issue too, which makes the LibreELEC installation better than any other Linux installation I have used [it now works like the Windows one :(]. I will update my other post with the rational and solution

thanks for the response.

I normally backup using disc imaging (windows) or rsync (Linux) and had forgotten about the backup feature in kodi, my error.

Still have no idea why recursively copying the content of the old .kodi directory over the new .kodi directory didn't work but it doesn't matter now, the installation is back with the only issue being suspend/resume.

Thanks again

Hi, this may sound silly but as a newbie to LibreELEC i chose to runs the initial installation from a USB to get a feel for it - choosing "live", then "run" from boot. Thankfully after setting up and testing the system LibreELEC appears to meet my needs so I decided to install it to the PCs SSD.

Having spent quite some time setting up the installation on the USB I wanted to transfer that installation to the hard disc. I initially did this by cloning the USB to the SSD but that still left the installer/live/run question on boot. So I decided to do a proper install and chose "installer", that went well but unsurprisingly created a clean install. No worries, I decided to recursively copy the .kodi directory on my USB to the .kodi directory on the SSD. Unfortunately that didn't work as planned and the new SSD installation remained "virgin". So I had to repeat setting up the system.

Bottom line: all is well but it would be nice to have the option to "clone" an experimental installation to become a permanent one during installation.

Hi, with the demise of W10 I am at last switching my Kodi installation to Linux but so far have had little success with standard Linux distributions due to an issue with HDMI. I have just tried LibreELEC and must admit I am impressed, no HDMI issue so far and it very nearly works perfectly for me. My only issue is suspend and resume....hence this post

When I suspend the system it more or less immediately resumes.
I have tried the fundamental fix at the start of the thread [x86-64] Setup for XHCI Suspend/Wakeup, [echo XHC > /proc/acpi/wakeup] to disable XHC wake up, and with that the system suspends and resumes. HOWEVER because XHC is inhibited I can no longer wake the system up though my remote (which is USB connected) and have to press the button on the laptop, a bit of a pain (literally) as its in a cupboard under the TV.

Any suggestions as to how I can get my systems to suspend and then resume using the USB connected remote?
