Unbuntu MATE 14.04.1 LTS
CMX 3008
I had CMX running and noticed the temperature had stalled out as compared to what was displayed on the weather station. I looked at the MXdiags files and saw nothing in error. The most current one is attached. The issue happened at approximately 9:25 PM local time.
EDIT...
Other data was stalled as well including barometer and humidity as I recall.

Re: Data Stalls
I don't know how many people are trying it on Linux and not on a Raspberry Pi (which appears to work fine, for the most part), but one other person had the same issue. I wonder if there are any power saving options set? I will try to find time to dig out my Linux box to see if I can see what's going on.

Re: Data Stalls
Searching the Ubuntu forums shows that it does indeed have USB Power saving options, especially on Laptops. There seems to some discussion on the best way to disable it see here http://askubuntu.com/questions/80638/ho ... -usb-mouse
This seems to be the best way.
Copy and paste the above into a Command line.
This seems to be the best way.
Code: Select all
for foo in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/level;
do echo on > $foo;
done

Re: Data Stalls
When I am asleep or at work, I usually do System > Lock Screen which must not suspend any of the USB devices since my mouse and keyboard are also USB and I can move the mouse so I can type my password to log back in. If I recall correctly, I think my computer did auto-lock last night when I noticed this happened. I will let it purposely do this again to verify after I get home from work later today and report back to make sure that is the cause. Thanks guys.

Re: Data Stalls
For a little while, I was testing MX on a netbook with Lubuntu installed. One day I started up MX and accidentally closed down the screen and it went into sleep mode. I realized it a few moments later and opened up the screen and it looked like MX was still running in the terminal window, so I assumed all was well (my mistake). It wasn't until about 12 hours later that I realized my data was "flatlined". As long as I made sure the netbook didn't go into sleep mode, it was fine.steve wrote:I don't know how many people are trying it on Linux and not on a Raspberry Pi (which appears to work fine, for the most part), but one other person had the same issue.

I am now testing MX on one of those little Intel NUC boxes with Ubuntu Server and haven't seen the issue.

Re: Data Stalls
So far the only answers I have from asking around on IRC chat channels are:
Disable the screensaver.
Go to SYSTEM > PREFERENCES > POWER MANAGEMENT and make sure to disable sleep and suspend on all tabs. I had these already turned off when I was using the screensaver.
Just use System > Lock Screen.
I am still investigating further, but just locking the screen manually will keep data coming in.
I asked about this over here so I'll see what answer(s) I get...

Re: Data Stalls
Yes, this is the same problem I have. As there was a weather event coming along I switched to Windows for the time being, but if you manage to find a solution, I'll surely retry MX on Linux!
