7X220</a> just as a
8joke on eBay to test Linux distributions and play around with things and not
9destroy my main machine. Little to my knowledge I felt in love with it. Man,
10they really made awesome machines back then.<p>After changing disk that came with it to SSD and installing Ubuntu to test if 
11everything works I noticed that even after a single touch of my external mouse
12the system would wake up from sleep even though the lid was shut down.<p>I wouldn't even noticed it if laptop didn't have <a href="https://support.lenovo.com/lk/en/solutions/~/media/Images/ContentImages/p/pd025386_x1_status_03.ashx?w=426&amp;h=262">LED
13sleep indicator</a>.
14I already had a bad experience with Linux and it's power management. I had a
15<a href=https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/dell-inspiron-15-7537>Dell Inspiron 7537</a> laptop
16with a touchscreen and while traveling it decided to wake up and started cooking
17in my backpack to the point that the digitizer responsible for touch actually
18glue off and the whole screen got wrecked. So, I am a bit touchy about this.<p>I went on solution hunting and to my surprise there is no easy way to disable
19specific devices to perform wake up. Why is this not under the power management 
20tab in setting is really strange.<p>After googling for a solution I found <a href=https://codetrips.com/2020/03/18/ubuntu-disable-mouse-wake-from-suspend/>this nice article describing the
21solution</a>
22that worked for me. The only problem with this solution was that he added his
23solution to <code>.bashrc</code> and this triggers <code>sudo</code> that asks for a password each
24time new terminal is opened, which get annoying quickly since I open a lot of
25terminals all the time.<p>I followed his instructions and got to solution <code>sudo sh -c "echo 'disabled' > /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-1.1/power/wakeup"</code>.<p>I created a system service file <code>sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/disable-mouse-wakeup.service</code> and removed <code>sudo</code> and
26replaced <code>sh</code> with <code>/usr/bin/sh</code> and pasted all that in <code>ExecStart</code>.<pre tabindex=0 style=background-color:#fff><code><span style=display:flex><span><span style=color:#00f>[Unit]</span>

41</span></span><span style=display:flex><span>sudo systemctl start disable-mouse-wakeup.service
42</span></span><span style=display:flex><span>sudo systemctl status disable-mouse-wakeup.service
43</span></span></code></pre><p>This will permanently disable that device from wakeing up you computer on boot.
44If you have many devices you would like to surpress from waking up your machine
45I would create a shell script and call that instead of direclty doing it in
46service file.</div></div></main><footer><hr><div><h3>Want to comment or have something to add?</h3>You can write me an email at
