USB switcher not allowing wake up from suspend

Question

I have two laptops (and two Raspberry pi's) connected to a 4-way usb switche, with one keyboard and mouse connected as input devices for all four. When I suspend the laptops (one is ubuntu, the other xubuntu), I cant wake them up with either keyboard or mouse. I have tried enabling wakeup on all devices found with grep . /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/wakeup as explained here @Pavlos Theodorou's questionand found that this will work for the device most recently suspended, but then if I press the button on the switcher to change it to a different device, the suspended device will wake up. has anyone had any experience of this with USB switchers?

Answer 1

I had a similar problem. You should be able to enable the keyboard directly without enabling the KVM. You also have to enable the usb port it's attached to. e.g /etc/udev/rules.d

# Enable usb port 3 wakeup
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", DRIVERS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1d6b", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0001", ATTRS{busnum}=="3", ATTR{power/wakeup}="enabled"
# Disable KVM wakeup
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", DRIVERS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0557", ATTRS{idProduct}=="7000", ATTR{power/wakeup}="disabled"
# Disable mouse wakeup
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", DRIVERS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1ea7", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0064", ATTR{power/wakeup}="disabled"
# Enable keyboard wakeup
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", DRIVERS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1c4f", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0047", ATTR{power/wakeup}="enabled"

The reason for doing it in this order is because the first rule automatically enables everything attached to it.
