Cannot Wake UP Linux From USB Keyboard/Mouse Mar 7th 2021 Words: 286

Problem

After my linux laptop entering sleep mode, I failed to wake it up by using the external USB keyboard or mouse. It is extremely annoying because I mainly put my laptop underthe desk.

Solution

Check the device’s ability to wake the computer from sleep:

1
grep . /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/wakeup

/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2.1/power/wakeup:disabled
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2.4/power/wakeup:enabled
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2/power/wakeup:disabled
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-7/power/wakeup:disabled
/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/power/wakeup:disabled
/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb2/power/wakeup:disabled

Add rules to allow wakeup by specific device. Edit /etc/uden/rules.d/10-wakeup.rules

1
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1017", ATTRS{idProduct}=="900a" RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo enabled > /sys/$env{DEVPATH}/power/wakeup'"

Reload the rules

1
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
