Hi,

I think this is a leftover from the release candidate you tested. Could you please remove it and install it again from the repository?

All right, let me know if you need testing.

Answer 5 · 2022-08-17T11:16:30.000Z

Hi @auanasgheps
The newest release https://github.com/adelolmo/hd-idle/releases/tag/v1.18 fixes the issue.

I made the v1.17 release from a branch instead of doing it from master. This is why the annoying log made its way into the package.

Thank you for the update!
Unfortunately my server will be unavailable until early September, so let's close this issue and I will reopen if needed.

One last question. I see this entry
Complete the list of targets for the service restart

Is this another attempt to fix resume after standby/hibernation?

Answer 7 · 2022-08-17T14:26:54.000Z

Is this another attempt to fix resume after standby/hibernation?

I'm not sure what would help in this case, but for completeness I added to the service all suspend/hibernate related targets.

Answer 8 · 2022-09-11T17:54:52.000Z

We can close this issue, the 1.17 version has resolved the issue. Thanks!
