[mythtv-users] ACPI Wakeup and Mythwelcome(Solved)

[Kevin Plew]

Looks like I had a couple of issues:
1. My hardware clock was set to UTC- The system woke up 4 hrs early this
morning. Modified using "timeconfig" unchecked "UTC" and setup syncing
hwclock hourly to local time.
2. time wasn't being set properly with "mythshutdown -w "$time". I had to
use "sudo sh -c 'echo $time > /proc/acpi/alarm'" I also had to use the
time string "yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss" The "T" is ignored, but without it
parsed the date and time as separate arguments.Could use quotes on the
$time as well.
3.In my case RTC wakeup is disabled on MB.

Couple of questions:
1. I can wake the system up using my wireless kb with ctrl+esc... Any way
I can use my remote connected thru a serial IR reciever?
2. Is there any advantage to using S3 suspend instead of shutdown/reboot.
I know S3 is much faster but it seems like there are module issues when
using it. My system often is idle 12 or more hours per day.

Thanks for the help
