[coLinux-users] coLinux and APM events?

[Jason <ja...@co...>]

I'm not holding out much hope now after my research bout, but thought
I'd ask the question...

Does coLinux pass along any kind of APM events during
sleep/hibernates/wakups from Windows XP?

I found a few threads from 2005 saying no, but it's 2009 now, so thought
I'd ask again. Searching in the Wiki didn't yield any results.

Thanks

Jason

I've had a few people write me direct to say they don't know the answer,
but actual sleep/recover works fine.

So, I'll expound a bit on my use case. My system lives on a network that
uses DHCP. Sometimes it moves between networks actually between
hibernate/wake up.

The dhcpcd does not seem keep track of it's lease time properly during
the sleep cycle (or maybe coLinux just comes up too fast before the
network is properly re-established, so dhcpcd never sees a reply from a
reachable dhcp server... either way, same effect).

Either way, I want to be able to catch the 'wakeup' signal so I can work
on getting an event to occur that gets dhcpcd to re-negotiate it's lease
properly.

I could brute force it by checking for large skews in the clock between
runs of a script, however if APM support exists, it would be a much more
elegant solution.

Thanks

Colinux does not have support for APM.
But windows (that is the host system) has support for it.
Colinux is seen as a (more or less) a normal application by windows.
So APM works OK. I repeat, colinux does not support APM.
APM is managed from windows!
I don't know an elegant solution for your problem.
I don't think there is it.
Bye,
Paolo

Hi,

I have been using Colinux and always put my laptop on stand-by and I have
not faced any issue with Colinux.

Regards,
Nambi

That's what I've been coming to the conclusion of. It'd be great if
coLinux could somehow see the event (does Windows even send or have a
trappable event that processes can get notified that the system is
sleeping/hibernating?) and pass it on to the kernel as an APM or ACPI event.

So this answers my question, and the only way to deal with my dhcpcd not
getting an IP (either because of the way it keeps track of time while
'sleeping', or because the bridge doesn't come up fast enough during the
wake up) is going to be to do some clock skew monitoring.

Thanks!

Jason
