Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
When I suspend my computer I want to be able to wake it up again by
pressing a key on the keyboard. By default this isn't possible. Having
added the following line to my /etc/rc.local script:
echo UHC1 > /proc/acpi/wakeup
I can successfully wake the machine up using the keyboard.
Unfortunately the above line enables any USB device to perform the
wakeup, including the mouse. This is a problem because the mouse seems
to be hypersensitive and often wakes the machine up immediately after
suspending it (just walking by the desk is enough to trigger it).
To disable the mouse from waking the computer up I figured out that I
need to run the following command:
echo disabled >
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.4/power/wakeup
So, problem solved for me. Until I plug the mouse into a different USB
port and the file I need above changes :-(
But this sort of hacking is pretty user hostile, especially when it is
so easy to do under Windows - just go to the Power Management tab of the
appropriate device and tick or untick the "Enable this device to wakeup
the computer" checkbox.
The gnome-power-manager should have something similar so that there is a
GUI available where ordinary users can enable or disable the required
functionality. They should be able to enable or disable both the
keyboard and mouse separately. If either of them are enabled then the
appropriate line should be written to the /proc/acpi/wakeup file
automatically (and persist over a reboot). Ditto for writing to the
power/wakeup file.
It would also be nice to add any other devices capable of waking the
machine up like the ethernet or wifi interfaces.
