From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I created a systemd service by putting the following in /etc/systemd/system/disable-mouse-wakeup.service
[Unit]
Description=Disable Mouse wakeup triggers
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "echo XHC0 > /proc/acpi/wakeup"
ExecStop=/bin/sh -c "echo XHC0 > /proc/acpi/wakeup"
RemainAfterExit=yes
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Then I ran sudo systemctl enable --now disable-mouse-wakeup
It works perfectly on my AMD machine.
On mine it was playing with some /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-4/power/wakeup or something, (use the right device number from lsusb), also there is some settings in the BIOS to power or not USB when sleeping, obviously if some USB port have no power, wakeup cannot work :) Every setup/BIOS is kinda different though.
And I have had the same problem as OP with just knocking the desk and the computer wakes up and it is annoying!
My latest trackball I switched it to Bluetooth mode so when PC is sleeping, no BT at all.
unfortunately, that doesn't work.
What system do you have? Laptop or desktop, if laptop which one, if desktop which mobo do you have? Check your bios for any sleep options, specifically S0 vs S3 standby.
S0 standby vs S3 standby can change things a lot. If you're in S3 standby then it's up to your bios/firmware to handle waking from sleep. If you're in S0 standby then your OS is in control.
There was a setting in bios for wakeup. It was turned off. I turned it on but nothing changed.
I'll check now, thanks!
Run cat /proc/acpi/wakeup and try some of the other devices instead of XHC0 if they are enabled
Edit: Remember to run sudo systemctl stop disable-mouse-wakeup to reset them if it doesn't work
Unfortunately, disabling the devices doesn't work.
RP01 S4 *enabled pci:0000:00:1c.0
RP05 S4 *enabled pci:0000:00:1c.4
RP06 S4 *enabled pci:0000:00:1c.5
LID0 S3 *enabled platform:PNP0C0D:00
PBTN S3 *enabled platform:PNP0C0C:00
I had this device earlier but I disabled it with your systemctl service earlier and although I stopped the service, it didn't come back. Probably, it's back on next reboot. XHC S0 *enabled pci:0000:00:14.0
I didn't test LID0 or Powerbutton.
Those wakelock devices map to specific devices.
If you run lsusb you will see the pci:0000:00:1c.4 and others.
RP05.That should be what is needed to disable waking up from the mouse.
Maybe a setting in the BIOS? It will most probably not have a setting for the Mouse but USB
Yeah this is a hardware thing. If there's no bios setting you might just be able to switch your mouse to a different usb port, most motherboards can only wake from 2 of them
As dar as I remember there is no setting for it in the bios, but I'll check
you can try if your monitor has a USB hub put it on there, when the monitor is off so goes the mouse.
Which distro? Do you have tlp installed? If so, you an use tlpui to configure lots of power related settings.
Turn the mouse upside down.
Also, check your BIOS settings. Turning it on from completely off also sounds sus, surely it's 'hibernating' or something, right?
I've been working on a fix for a similar issue, but it might not apply because my issue is caused by my mouse's wireless reciever. I wrote a little script to replace the bluetooth wakup config file, and it works when I manually run it. However, this resets every time I restart and I'm having difficulty getting it to run on startup, probably because it requires sudo.
It's amazing how difficult this is to do. I like Linux and all, but seriously in Windows this is a couple clicks to fix.
Plug it out lol
I just unplug the mouses USB from the PC and plug it back in after putting the PC to sleep. Et voila, pc no longer wakes from mouse.
