computer will wake from sleep by itself

Post by charroo »

i've lately told you that my computer when getting suspended wakes up soon after by itself.
i thought it's the mouse.
but i've changed the mouse and keyboard but it's the same.
i also conect the keyboard with a kvm.
do you suspect that the kvm is causing this problem or perhaps the mint system itself?
it's all started around the time i re installed to the latest mint.....

let me know please
tnx

I have an old HP Pavilion dv9700 Notebook PC with LM 19.3 that just started something similar, but different.
I Shutdown and then it restarts to a black screen and the fan is running super fast.
Nothing to do buy press the off button.
I did not debug it since I have mostly given up on that computer. I have faster and better :)

Sorry we could not help you.

Please open the System Reports app and click the System Information tab on the left. Your computer's information should come up in the right pane. Then click Copy, and paste the results into a reply window here so we can see how Linux Mint views your hardware.

This is a wireless dongle? If so, do you have a wired one you can try?

I did not see anything unusual in your inxi output. Usually in these types of cases there is something hardware related that is giving a signal to the operating system to wake up.

The data you posted indicates you are using a wireless keyboard.

Code: Select all

Battery:
  Device-1: hidpp_battery_0 model: Logitech Wireless Keyboard serial: <filter>
    charge: 55% (should be ignored) status: Discharging
Usually, one must attach a usb dongle to the computer for the wireless keyboard to work. That is a wireless connection (between the keyboard and the computer).

Some people have found (moreso with mice), is all it takes is a little vibration on the table or desk where the device is located for a signal to be sent from the keyboard/mouse to the computer to indicate it should wake up.

I do not know if that, or something like it, might be the issue in this situation.
