Can't wake up laptop from suspend using external USB keyboard

viswajith.j.official · January 20, 2024, 6:56am

Cant seem to wake laptop from suspend using external keyboard. Or any external USB devices. Its as if no power on ports while on suspend mode.

OS/Version : Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (same issue on Linux Mint also)

Hardware: Lenovo Ideapad 3 15ALC6 Ub

Kernel version : 6.5.0-14-generic

Description: Cant seem to wake laptop from suspend using external keyboard. Or any external USB devices. Its as if no power on ports while on suspend mode. I would like to keep the lid closed and use just the external monitor.
Same goes for Linux Mint as well. both of them have same kernel version. So I dont think its a specific issue of distro. And I cant figure out where exactly the problem is.

Googled quite a bit and saw lot of similar questiosn. Tried most of the typical solutions available.

No option for wake from usb on BIOS
keyboard and mouse 's wakeup option is enabled in /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2/power/wakeup
Made it permanent using udev rules (it is enabled after reboot also)
Disabled autosuspend using kernel paramters
Sleep mode seems to be S3 (if its useful)

Output of grep . /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/wakeup

I’m not sure what else is to be provided, but just ask for what is needed and I can update it.

External keyboard wakesup if lid is open while suspending. The problem is only when lid is closed

Note: Something that I noticed is that if i “enable” power/wakeup of usb1, it works but then I cant suspend as webcam is part of usb1 . So just as I suspend the laptop, it turns back on.

Hi @viswajith.j.official .
Welcome to itsFOSS community.

There is a configuration file /etc/systemd/logind.conf
If you look in that file you will find

....
#HandleLidSwitch=suspend
#HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=suspend
#HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore
...

Note they will be commented out.
I think you may need to edit that file and change one or more of those lines

remove the ‘#’
change the value to ‘ignore’ or ‘none’ or something
check the man page
man logind.conf
on your system.

Regards
Neville

Thank you for your reply. But I would like to suspend my laptop on closing lid when external monitors are not connected. So I dont want to ‘ignore’ the lid switch (I guess that’s what this option does)
I need to wakeup the laptop from suspend mode(lid closed) using external keyboard
My guess is, if USB port can be powered during suspend, this would work.

Edit: After typing out this reply, I tried that anyway. But didnt work. Still cant wakeup using usb keyboard.

nevj · January 20, 2024, 10:33pm

Sorry, do not see how you can do that… maybe you could try hibernate instead of suspend.
Someone else may know.

nevj · January 21, 2024, 11:15am

@viswajith.j.official
This seems to tell you how to do it

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.13/driver-api/usb/persist.html

viswajith.j.official · January 21, 2024, 11:43am

Value of persist file is already set to 1 in all devices. At this point I kind of enabled all the options concerned with this issue. Could there be any higher priority setting that overrides and renders all of this options void ?
Thank you for your time btw

nevj · January 21, 2024, 11:56am

So that says the power is on to the usb devices?
Can you test any way to see if they are powered? eg plug a lamp into the usb?

I dont think anything can override the kernel… it is in charge.

Appreciated

nevj · January 21, 2024, 3:06pm

Maybe something to do with wake_interrupts for the usb device

https://docs.kernel.org/power/suspend-and-interrupts.html

and
look at /proc/acpi/wakeup

and
look at udev rules for usb device.

“A udev rule can be useful to enable the wakeup triggers of a USB device, like a mouse or a keyboard, so that it can be used to wake the system from sleep. Note: By default, the USB host controllers are all enabled for wakeup. The status can be checked using cat /proc/acpi/wakeup .”

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/udev

viswajith.j.official · January 22, 2024, 12:47pm

Tried charging my phone. Didn’t work

This goes deep into the programming of how its implemented. I couldn’t derive any actionable steps from it.

I have already provided the output of /proc/acpi/wakeup (though I’m not entirely sure what to make of it.)

As I have mentioned in question, I have tried creating the udev rule to permanently enable wakeup option for the corresponding usb port. I will update it with the rule I made
Edit: Can’t seem to edit the question. I will update the udev rule here
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="413c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2113", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo enabled > /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2/power/wakeup'"

I can say that it works because the wakeup file is enabled permenantly now. It just doesnt reflect in actions.

(Sorry for late replies. Had an exam today )

Hope it goes well

I assume that is the usb kb and mouse not the inbuilt ones?

Sorry I missed some of your info.
I am running out of ideas.

viswajith.j.official · January 22, 2024, 2:28pm

Thanks, it was fine

Its the usb keyboard. Could verify from output of lsusb

Its fine bro. Its probably an hardware limitation of my laptop. I asked in their forums and they also didn’t provide a definite method to verify it.

nevj · January 22, 2024, 10:18pm

There may be kernel boot parameter that you can set…
something which would enable suspended kernel to resoond to interrupts
but
how is suspended kernel going to receive an interrupt if the usb port has no power?
I cant answer that?

ex-Gooserider · January 23, 2024, 5:33am

Basically the question is if the laptop USB ports are powered with the lid closed and no external monitors. The USB Keyboard / mouse must have power to work, so no power means no wakeup… This may be a BIOS setting question, or something in software, but I’d be more inclined to suspect the hardware / BIOS.

If you boot the machine with that evil company O/S, does it to the same thing? If it does then it is more likely to be a hardware issue than anything in the O/S

viswajith.j.official · January 24, 2024, 1:42am

Yes it has the same issue. But I haven’t tweaked much in its settings as I dont use it. Seeing wakeup options in Linux gave me hope that it might work. But unfortunately it doesn’t. It is a hardware issue I think. BIOS not having the option everybody’s talking about also points to that conclusion.

nevj · January 24, 2024, 2:50am

@viswajith.j.official ,
If you were successful, there remains the issue of whether it
is a good idea to run a laptop with the lid closed.
Some laptops depend on the lid being open for proper heat
dissapation.
