Disable wake on mouse movement

[User0x770865]

I'd like to stop the machine waking from sleep if I move the mouse. There doesn't seem to be a setting for that. Can anyone help?

(Edit: I now wish I'd called this "Disable wake on mouse click" but it seems to be too late.)

what version ?

basically should be controlled from "system settings" screen locking "require password after locking"

I'd like to stop the machine waking from sleep if I move the mouse. There doesn't seem to be a setting for that. Can anyone help?

1. With "waking from sleep", you mean waking the machine from suspend or hibernation, waking the display from powersave or something else?
2. What kind of mouse you are using? (integrated, ps/2, usb, bluetooth)
3. To get a list of devices that have wakeup enabled, run "cat /proc/acpi/wakeup"
4. And to connect cryptic device codes to actual devices, run "lspci"

Answer those (and post the outputs of the commands) and we can try to disable the mouse wakeups.

Yes. The machine is in sleep mode, apparently powered down but waiting for an instruction to wake up. After some experiments it seems it's not movement but a mouse click which wakes the machine.

The mouse is a wireless USB one.

We can first try to disable the USB controller wakeups to see if that fixes the mouse wakeups (these changes are not yet permanent):
1. Run:

echo USBE | sudo tee /proc/acpi/wakeup

and

echo USE2 | sudo tee /proc/acpi/wakeup

2. check that corresponding wakeups are now disabled:

cat /proc/acpi/wakeup

3. Test whether mouse still wakes the machine up from sleep
4. Report back. We'll either look into making the changes permanent (if it works) or try to come up with a new idea (if it doesn't work)

Tested, works perfectly. Thank you.

Tested, works perfectly.

To make it permanent, the script in here (see first answer): https://askubuntu.com/questions/1524...keup-permanent could come handy.
It basically makes sure USB wakeups are set to disabled when the system goes to sleep (because cold reboots, for example, will probably reset them to enabled).

In your case, you should replace the line:

for usb in `cat /proc/acpi/wakeup | grep USB | cut -f1`;

with

for usb in 'USBE' 'USE2';

And you also need sudo to make the script executable:

sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/45fixusbwakeup

I put this in the sleep.d folder:

#!/bin/bashcase $1 in
    hibernate)
            echo "Going to suspend to disk!"
            ;;
    suspend)
            echo "Fixing acpi settings."
            for usb in 'USBE' 'USE2';
            do
                    state=`cat /proc/acpi/wakeup | grep $usb | cut -f3 | cut -d' ' -f1 | tr -d '*'`
                    echo "device = $usb, state = $state"
                    if [ "$state" == "enabled" ]
                    then
                            echo $usb > /proc/acpi/wakeup
                    fi
            done
            echo "Suspending to RAM."
            ;;
    thaw)
            echo "Suspend to disk is now over!"
            ;;
    resume)
            echo "We are now resuming."
            ;;
    *)
            echo "Somebody is callin me totally wrong."
            ;;
esac

and did

sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/45fixusbwakeup

then I restarted the computer. I checked the status again:

cat /proc/acpi/wakeupDevice  S-state   Status   Sysfs node
PCI0      S5    *disabled  no-bus:pci0000:00
PEX0      S5    *disabled  pci:0000:00:1c.0

PEX4      S5    *disabled

USE2      S3    *enabled   pci:0000:00:1a.0
AZAL      S5    *disabled  pci:0000:00:1b.0

and it had changed back. So I clicked the Sleep button in the K menu and tested it. The computer doesn't wake up when I click the mouse, as required. When I started the computer and checked the status again I found the two items disabled:

cat /proc/acpi/wakeupDevice  S-state   Status   Sysfs node
PCI0      S5    *disabled  no-bus:pci0000:00
PEX0      S5    *disabled  pci:0000:00:1c.0

USE2      S3    *disabled  pci:0000:00:1a.0
AZAL      S5    *disabled  pci:0000:00:1b.0

I'm calling that fixed. Thanks very much for your help.

It seems like a thing there should be a setting in System Settings for.
