Hi,

I'm trying to let SABnzbd put my system to standby when the download queue is empty, but it's not working.

I found this in the logs:

Code: Select all

Exception in thread Thread-34:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line 532, in __bootstrap_inner
    self.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line 484, in run
    self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs)

    if proxy.Get(interface, 'can-suspend', dbus_interface=pinterface):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'Get'

Python-dbus is installed. Any know how to get this working?

Thanks.

Edit:
To clarify, I'm not using the Ubuntu package. I'm running straight from source (0.5.2). (this topic seemed to be moved to the ubuntu/debian package subforum)

Might want to make sure dbus itself is actually installed too, other than that no idea.

Dbus itself is installed. Might have something to do with Lucid using UPower?

That would appear to be the problem, the code as it is now can not work on lucid as devicekit is deprecated und upower used instead.

Our response will probably be to remove power management support for Unix/Linux altogether.
Instead people will need to have an end-of-queue user script.

I guess it'll be a user script then.

This works for me:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import dbus
bus = dbus.SystemBus()
proxy = bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.UPower', '/org/freedesktop/UPower')
iface = dbus.Interface(proxy, 'org.freedesktop.UPower')
iface.Suspend()

Good content for a user script.
SABnzbd is agnostic regarding the actual Unix/Linux distribution and specific configuration.
Given that, we should never have implemented a specific power management solution.
The Windows and OSX variants will keep support because power management is fairly consistent across their releases.
