Is there a way to put my Logitech wireless mouse to sleep after a while? When using windows if I don't touch the mouse for something like 5 min it is turned off automatically and when I touch it again it turns on. This behavior doesn't happens using ubuntu. I already tried with setting an auto suspend value, but this isn't what I need

  • I don't know how to do it, but my logitech m510 does this on ubuntu too. How do you know it does not turn off? – fallingcats Aug 16 '15 at 23:47
  • your mouse doesn't disconnect or disconnects? I know because after a while when I touch the mouse it turns the led, indicating that it is now powered on and using ubuntu it never happens – antone Aug 16 '15 at 23:49
  • My mouse lights up when moving after some time has passed. – fallingcats Aug 16 '15 at 23:53
  • And do you have logitech unifying receiver autosuspend enabled? – antone Aug 17 '15 at 00:08
  • I did not change the default settings (nor do I know where I could), but i actually thought this feature is hardwired in the mouse. (Works on android too (with a usb-otg adapter)) – fallingcats Aug 17 '15 at 00:10
  • mine never lights up. I enabled autosuspend and changed the auto suspend delay to 5 min. will check if it works – antone Aug 17 '15 at 00:13

Setting auto in /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-3/power and changing autosuspend_delay_ms to 300000 (5 min) solved it

  • Changing autosuspend_delay_ms worked for me. First I had to identify the correct USB device using lsusb. I took the last four of the product number then grepped to figure out what port matched which product. grep xxxx */idProduct. Then I went into the identified folder and edited the autosuspend_delay_ms value. – Mario Olivio Flores Oct 06 '20 at 13:43
  • I find I need to run echo "200000" | sudo tee -a /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-5.3/power/autosuspend_delay_ms every time I boot my computer. @antone what did you mean by "setting auto" - I don't quite follow. Thanks! – Mario Olivio Flores Jan 08 '21 at 14:22
  • Found it. echo "auto" > "/sys/bus/usb/devices/usbX/power/level" is probably what you meant. That is already set to the correct value in my case and doesn't solve my issue. It seems that setting auto_suspend_delay_ms can be set for all devices as a global option in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. One can add `usbcore.autosuspend=10000" for example or -1 to fully disable it. I haven't tried it yet. – Mario Olivio Flores Jan 08 '21 at 14:39
