Sleep not working at all with Mavericks installed

[Deleted member 188658]

The problem for me is that my Hachintosh does NOT go asleep. It doesn't go asleep from the Apple Menue -> sleep manual command. It shuts off the display and just hangs. Only a HW reset gets the OS to return.

I tried booting in Safe mode, -x on the Chmiera command line. In safe mode the system sleeps and wakes correctly.

What is the next step to identify which kext is causing the problem? How do you suggest I debug from here on?

Funny that in Safe mode the pmset -g assertions command returns the same status as above, but the system sleeps. So debugging with pmset has not led me to a solution. Quite the reverse, it seems like a distraction.

Ping, ping ping

Ping ping. Has the Forum gone asleep?

Try adding <string>darkwake=0</string> to your org.chameleon.Boot.plist

(You can use Chameleon Wizard)

Good Luck

Hi,

if darkwake=0 does not work for you - there are other options for this too as stated in the following thread:

http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-h...ake-0-flag-can-break-auto-sleep-10-8-1-a.html

In my case for example darkwake=10 made Sleep work again.

SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED !!!

Came back to this problem after 3 more weeks, and using the hints about the darkwake flag in /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist I finally STUMBLED on a fix.

How does one change this thread title/classification to SOLVED?

I stumbled on the fix by inserting a XML comment string "<!-- --> " into the file to remove the DarkWake key only. What I found was that Chameleon ignored the rest of the directives/keys and all of a sudden sleep/wake worked perfectly. Then it was a question of iterating down the remaining keys to find that the TIMEOUT directive was the cause of the failure to sleep/wake.

When I removed <key>Timeout</key> AND the <key>DarkWake</key> directives sleep/wake worked. This of course stops automatic boot from the root partition. So further experiments showed me that setting the Timeout <string>6</string> value made automatic boot and sleep/wake work again.

Thus my file looks like this:

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Theme</key>
<string>Chamatic</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>6</string>
<key>UseKernelCache</key>
<string>Yes</string>

And after 2+ months of heartache I have sleep/wake finally working again.

Since my machine didn't go to SLEEP correctly, I'm not sure what affect the Timeout key is really having. As I said in an earlier post in safe boot mode, -x, sleep / wake works fine with Timeout=2. Of course safe mode is a slow boot.

And by the way just remove DarkWake as in Mavericks the default is just fine.

Yahoooo

I can confirm that darkwake=0 works for me as well. My H61M-DS2 wouldn't sleep at all without it (not even with -x). This saved my day!

What I need to work on now is WOL...
