VDR shutting down computer by itself

    My VDR server - Ubuntu 11.10 with yavdr pppas: yavdr/main & stable-vdr (see signature for hardware specs), is shutting itself off when inactive. I had the PC on for over 10hours during the day (active) and it all seems fine. But whenever I wake up in the morning it has shut down!


    It is not overheating as all the devices are running at low temps even after 10hours of use, I check these via phpsysinfo.


    At first I thought it was my TV card - so I unplugged it and left the server on over night. When I woke up in the morning it had shut itself down. This has happened on 2 different TV cards!


    I tried the same experiment the next evening but stopped VDR by running:

    Code
    /etc/init.d/vdr stop


    When I woke up the PC was still on which makes me believe VDR is the culprit.


    Here is chunk of my /var/log/kern.log pastebin


    Important part I believe is below, Looks like it shutdown at 3:35am and I pressed the power button to turn it back on at 17:45:

    Its a VDR Feature to shut down the PC after some time of inaktivity. You will find the setting if you look at the VDR setup Menu.

    Do you know where the conf file for this would be?

    Have a look in the settings options in the OSD. Somewhere you'll find something like shutdown vdr after ... min. of inactivity.

    Have fun with your server program you cannot setup to your needs ;) A vdr without your setup is useless.
    Find your way to access the setup.


    cu

    with stopped vdr change MinUserInactivity in setup.conf to 0 .
    that should disable auto shutdown.

    Found the file:


    Code
    nano /etc/vdr/setup.conf


    Change Min. user inactivity = 0, should do the trick, Thanks!

    Try:
    service vdr stop
    vim /etc/vdr/setup.conf


    search for the line: MinUserInactivity = 240
    and set it to 0 (minutes) if you like NOT to shut down the server by itself...


    edit: tooo late ;(

    To save energy you should suggest to leave Auto shutdown enabled and to Power up the machine using wakeonlan and rtc wakeup. Vdr is able to program the computers built-in clock to wake-up if a recording is imminent. If your hardware supports S3 sleep mode under Linux it will be available within seconds.

    I have looked into ACPI Wakeup, haven't got it working yet but have't really had time to investigate. I have:


    installed vdr-addon-acpiwakeup
    enabled it in /etc/vdr/vdr-addon-acpiwakeup.conf
    checked that UTC=yes in /etc/default /rcS
    ammened GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="hpet=disabled" in /etc/default/grub
    update-grub


    To test it can I just set a time in acpiwakeup.conf eg:
    # Wakeup time
    ACPI_REGULAR_TIME=20:54


    then issue a shutdown -h now

    I'm sorry, that I can't help you with the addon as i am using a script that is invoked by a shutdown-hook. I post it here but i think you should use the addon as many people should be able to help you with that.

    You can test your hardware with this sequence:

    Code
    sudo su
TIMER=$(date +%s --date "now + 300 seconds")             # store unix timestamp of now + 5 minutes in $TIMER
echo 0 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm                # reset wakealarm
echo $TIMER > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm      # program the rtc
echo $TIMER > /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm      # once again as some boards need it
cat /proc/driver/rtc                                                # check what happened
halt                                                                          # shutdown

    Your server should wakeup about 5 Minutes later. Maybe you have to enable it in the Bios. Look for Power -> APM -> wakeup rtc or something
