Mouse "crashes" remains immovable after a short time

[TheObserver]

Hello, I've been using my E3-112 Acer notebook for some time, with lots of problems - but this one is new:

After 5-10 Minutes the mouse courser just doesn't move anymore, while everything else is working via the keyboard.

I encountered this problem before I upgraded to Tara, I also switched the Kernel at some point.
Btw; the problem appears with both the Touchpad and my Logitech wireless mouse. Right now I have the Logitech Receiver unplugged, the problem remains though.

My only solution atm is just to restart Linux.
Is there a way to kinda "restart" the scripts responsible for the mouse??

[AZgl1800]

I too have been having random problems with the mouse cursor refusing to move, and not allowing me to select a window to start typing in.

I discovered finally that the wireless mouse is loosing communications with the PC.
I have since started removing the wireless adapter, and plugging it back in.

that fixes it for me now.... I think the USB port is going bad in my case.

get a Wired Mouse, that was my first fix for the problem, that proves, or disproves it is a hardware problem.
then I bought a new LogiTech M510 wireless mouse.... and all was good for a few weeks, then it restarted again...

again, pull the wireless adapter, plug it back in, all if good.
the Aliens are watching me................. argh! it just now happened as I typed this. tried to click SUBMIT and no mouse.....

pull adapter, plug in, all good

I suspect the problem here is not faulty hardware, rather, somewhere there is a power-management related setting that decides it is a good idea to turn power off to unused USB ports or bluetooth, depending upon how the device interfaces, after a certain interval. It can detect the device being attached and unplugged, but cannot detect the command stream from the pointing device once connected.

Now...where and in what form these settings may exist is beyond my ken. Look at the BIOS/UEFI setup for anything that purports to manage USB ports or Bluetooth, as appropriate, and also anything have to do with Power. Windows has some software settings that also affect this in control panel, but I don't know if such things exist in Mint/Ubuntu/Debian or where they might live if they do.

The kernel has a feature called "USB Autosuspend" which can suspend idle USB devices if the driver implements it. There are two solutions:

1. Create a udev rule that matches the mouse Id and disables the feature (Google "disable USB autosuspend udev").
2. Install the "tlp" package and the default configuration will disable USB Autosuspend for input devices automatically.

The first solution is appropriate for desktop systems and the second solution is better for laptops.

now that makes a hell of a lot more sense to me, as to what is happening with my laptop.

I have noticed, that is I am just surfing around, and not typing at all, the mouse never "locks up", meaning it quits responding. I can always unplug the USB fob, plug it back in, and it works every time.

did a search and found that AutoSuspend is 'ON' for mine
$ cat /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend

I just found a post on this forum that states the following command will turn it off permanently
viewtopic.php?t=273460

Just copy paste the following command in terminal and it will Disable USB autosuspend

Code: Select all

echo on | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/level >/dev/null

[AZgl1800]

However, when I checked the AutoSuspend file, it was not OFF, it was still on,

Turn it OFF permanently this way

SUSPEND USB ports
Set the Suspend to -1

To change the USB auto-suspend parameter, you need to edit the file where the parameter is stored.

Run the following command from Terminal (copy and paste).

Code: Select all

gksudo xed /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend

That will launch the editor. Note, it will ask for password.

You'll see the contents of the file is 2. Change the 2 to -1 and then from the editor Menu use File to Save and Quit. Restart the system and test.

Per the article, 2 gives a 2-second timeout, whereas -1 turns off the timeout feature.

Manual edits to any files under /sys will not persist over a reboot. The methods I described are selective and apply only to the designated device (Case 1) or all input devices only (Case 2). Turning off Autosuspend globally for all USB devices can have a negative impact on laptop power consumption.

appreciate that info Neil,
but as there is only 1 USB port, and it is a mouse, that is not an issue for me.

I applied both methods, so will see if it remains effective after a reboot.

I just made a trip to the Post Office, and back, and my mouse is still tracking quite nicely, it did not time out this time.

your 2nd solution did not ring any bells for me, how do I go about doing this?

Install the "tlp" package and the default configuration will disable USB Autosuspend for input devices automatically.

Using either the Software Manager or Synaptic Package manager, search for tlp and install it. At the next reboot it will start a systemd service that manages power consumption on your laptop. If your laptop has a pre-Sky Lake Intel Processor (like my Broadwell-based Core i5) then tlp will benefit from the installation of linux-tools-generic but Sky Lake and later Intel processors don't need it. The default configuration of tlp will handle disabling of USB Autosuspend out-of-the-box and bring a lot of extra power saving benefit too.

Okay, moving on.l
The previous methods only worked for the Current Session.
upon reboot, the mouse locked up again ( USB suspended )

I just now installed the tlp plus the linux-tools-generic and rebooted.

time will tell if this works, will be highly appreciated if it stops the mouse from being disconnected.

[TheObserver]

In my case USB autosuspend won't help. It's not -only- my wireless mouse that isn't responding, it's also the trackpad on my notebook. It's really weird. Unfortunately I can't check if a cable bound mouse would have the same trouble. Since I don't own one at the time.

[Neil Darlow]

Interesting.

I used the udev rule solution on my desktop PC to fix the problem with a wireless mouse stuttering and freezing and I used the tlp solution on my laptop to fix a problem with its Elantec touchpad freezing. Installing the Xorg Synaptics driver was another solution for the laptop (just a straightforward install with no additional configuration required).

It seems I have experienced the same problems as you and solved them by either of those methods. I saw the use of the Synaptics driver on the laptop as a bit of a backward step but it might help you.

[AZgl1800]

for me, it was definitely the USB suspend issue.

and the fixes above, and I believe it was the tlp fix that stopped it from happening.
I purposely left the laptop open and mouse "on" for several hours yesterday, and moving the mouse awakened the screen display.... I have the screen timeout set at 1 hour.

All Power functions are set to "never"

this is on my ASUS TP500L thinbook laptop

[BG405]

there is only 1 USB port

You might be surprised what is listed as a USB device: lsusb -v
Expect to see stuff like your webcam, WiFi card and various other devices listed.

yeah,
noticed that right off.... only one "usb" port and look at this list

nice and short, eh?

Indeed. I hadn't realized just how "universal" USB had become within computer architecture.

[gm10]

The previous methods only worked for the Current Session.
upon reboot, the mouse locked up again ( USB suspended )

Just to note that the usbcore.autosuspend=-1 kernel parameter (set in /etc/default/grub, don't forget to run sudo update-grub afterwards) disables this permanently.

I just repeated this again, did a reboot, and it still goes back to 2
the setting is not staying permanent,
and a few minutes back, while typing, my mouse just suddenly "hung up again"

Oh weird, I've successfully used this in the past, somebody should tell Linus: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/ ... gement.rst (maybe double check that you added it in the right place - as described in the link you can also add it as an option to /etc/modprobe.d instead)
