Wake up from suspend by keyboard key

[Chilon_]

Hello Mint-Users,

is there a way to let the computer (Mint 20) wake up from suspend by pressing any key or a certain key on my keyboard but not by mouse movements? I'm currently using a wireless keyboard/mouse set and don't want my PC to wake up the mouse moves a tiny bit.

Thanks,
Chilon

Sorry, I don't know the answer to this.

I find it interesting that your computer wakes up from a suspend with mouse movements. Mine (LM19.3 Cinnamon) does not. <del>It won't wakeup via keyboard either.</del> CORRECTION: It does wake on a keyboard entry! The normal way I wake it up from a suspend is to press the on/off button, which has a slowly flashing light when in suspend mode. I will probably start using the keyboard.

I could do it.

My environment is here.
- Linux Mint 20.1(Linux Kernel 5.8.0-53)
- Keyboard(connected by PS/2)
- Mouse(connected by wireless at USB)

1st step, You should check the physical address of the Mouse.

Code: Select all

~$ sudo lsinput

/dev/input/event2
   bustype : BUS_I8042
   vendor  : 0x1
   product : 0x1
   version : 43841
   name    : "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
   phys    : "isa0060/serio0/input0"
   bits ev : (null) (null) (null) (null) (null)

/dev/input/event5
   bustype : BUS_USB
   vendor  : 0x46d
   product : 0x4054
   version : 273
   name    : "Logitech Wireless Mouse"
   phys    : "usb-0000:01:00.0-9/input1:2"
   uniq    : "4054-94-ce-f1-b4"
   bits ev : (null) (null) (null) (null)

2nd step, check for effective resume methods.

Code: Select all

~$ cat /proc/acpi/wakeup | grep enable

GPP8	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:03.1
GP12	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:07.1
GP13	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:08.1
XHC0	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:08:00.3
PS2K	  S3	*enabled   pnp:00:04
GPP2	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:01.3
PTXH	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:01:00.0

"PTXH" is an effective method "from Mouse", showned by lsinput command.

I guess "usb-0000:01:00" is same as "pci:0000:01:00".


The last step, enter this command to disable "from Mouse". (This command is toggled method)

Code: Select all

~$ sudo sh -c "echo PTXH > /proc/acpi/wakeup"

Check for effective resume methods, once more.

Code: Select all

~$ cat /proc/acpi/wakeup | grep enable

GPP8	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:03.1
GP12	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:07.1
GP13	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:08.1
XHC0	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:08:00.3
PS2K	  S3	*enabled   pnp:00:04
GPP2	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:01.3

You will have these result, then You can resume from Keyboard as before, and can't resume from Mouse anymore.

NOTICE: if rebooted your PC, this setting has goes away.

Enjoy Linux Mint!!
