I just changed from my Windows Squeezecenter Installation to Ubuntu 9.04. In addition I installed the SvrPowerControl plugin since I want to suspend my ubuntu system when the players are idle. I had now twice the problem that my computer was sent to suspend mode although music was just playing. Is there a known problem like that? This does not always happend but only sometimes.
In my previous Windows installation I simply used the Windows power save management. This was smart enough to send Windows only into suspend mode when no music was playing. It seems that Windows not only checks mouse movement and keyboard inputs but in addtion e.g. hard disk activity (or something else). In Ubuntu I had the problem that the default power management sends the computer to suspend mode when there is no mouse movement and keyboard input but it does no further check. So the computer was sent to suspend mode although music was playing. That was the reasond that I switched to SvrPowerControl (but have now the above problems). Even if SvrPowerControl works as expected, I miss an option that the plugin checks for other activities of the computer, e.g. hard disk activity or network traffic. For example, I make sometimes backups of my music files from the harddisk of my music server to an external harddisk. If no music is played while the backup is running SvrPowerControl does suspend my computer and breaks the backup procedure. A similar problem arises if e.g. a linux update is running and SvrPowerControl sends the computer into suspend mode. Is there a chance that such additional checks will be included in SvrPowerControl? -- dip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=902 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
