07:47 <hemi770> hi all

07:47 <hemi770> i'm running libreelec in a proxmox (kvm) vm with pcie passthrough to the video card. it works rather well

07:48 <hemi770> only hindrance is when i shutdown down the proxmox host, it sends ACPI shutdown signals to all guest vms, and the libreelec one does not respond to that, stalling the shutdown. any pointers please?

08:33 <weust> No qemu-guest? Not sure if that is needed though, just imagining it might.

09:19 <hemi770> weust: not needed for other vms to respond to acpi

09:19 <hemi770> can't hurt though

09:21 <weust> ah ok. 50% chance it made sense :-)

09:22 <hemi770> sure

09:22 <hemi770> i'm in the dark a bit because libreelec doesn't resemble other linuces

09:23 <hemi770> like i wouldn't know how to add packages or run them at startup

09:23 <weust> Maybe something stripped in the kernel that allows something (hypervisor) talking to acpi somehow?

09:23 <hemi770> i suppose i could have a dig around in /etc to see if there's any acpi config in there

09:23 <mack-> isn't that handled by systemd these days?

09:24 <weust> ah yes. next is the kernel replaced by systemd

09:24 <hemi770> maybe

09:24 <hemi770> not all linuces run that though

09:24 <hemi770> i'm not assuming libreelec does off the bat

09:28 <hemi770> https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/search?q=acpi&unscoped_q=acpi

09:32 <oblikoamorale> hemi770: anything interesting in LE syslog on hypervisor shutdown event?

09:33 <hemi770> urgh yes it is systemd apparently https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/9319-8-2-3-1-libreelec-8-2-for-s905-s905x/?postID=60705#post60705

09:34 <hemi770> oblikoamorale: i'll investigate that shortly

09:36 <hemi770> if what i am gleaning in the forum is correct kodi and the JEOS just use systemd to coordinate power stuff

09:36 <hemi770> surely systemd can be configured to listen to acpi inputs

09:45 <hemi770> i'll dig through the gui options later and see if i'm missing anything. thanks for the ideas guys

09:59 <mack-> hemi770: not sure if you're up the right tree or not, but since you didn't seem familiar with LE, systemd is handled by dropping files into /storage/.config/system.d/

10:00 <mack-> similarly other services are configured the same way in .config/

10:03 <hemi770> cheers mack- i'll make a note of that

12:07 <hemi770> weust: you were on the right track with qemu-agent after all. proxmox had it set on while it was absent in the guest. unchecking qemu-agent then choosing shutdown (both in proxmox) pops up the shutdown menu in the libreelec guest. i think i can tweak it from here to just shut straight down.

12:07 <hemi770> thanks also for your help mack-

12:08 <weust> ah ok. nice. makes sense :-) talking to a non-existing qemu-agent or talking to the OS and let that figure it out.

12:14 <hemi770> yep
