This tutorial shows how to enable\/disable Keyboard, Mouse, Lid Open, and\/or other devices events from waking up your Ubuntu PC or laptop from sleep.<\/p>\n

By default, open laptop lid, press any key on keyboard, or press sleep button can wake up your computer from suspend or hibernation state. If you want, you can configure Ubuntu to ignore certain wakeup triggers that you don’t want.<\/p>\n

This tutorial is tested on ThinkPad t480s with Ubuntu 24.04. It should also work on other Linux and other devices, but the “Lid Open” action may vary!<\/b><\/p>\n

Option 1: Prevent USB Devices (e.g., Keyboard & Mouse) Waking up Ubuntu<\/h3>\n

In my case, I have external keyboard and mouse connected to the laptop through USB ports. And, I want to stop the keyboard key press waking up Ubuntu from sleep.<\/p>\n

1. Find out your USB device ID<\/b><\/p>\n

First, press Ctrl+Alt+T<\/code> on keyboard to open up a terminal window. When it opens, run the command below to list all USB devices:<\/p>\n

lsusb<\/pre>\n
My keyboard is connected through a wireless USB receiver. According to the terminal output, “YICHIP Wireless Device” is the only one matches my device.<\/p>\n
And, the ID is 3151:3020<\/code>. They are hexadecimal numbers. And, the first 4 numbers “3151” is the vendor ID, while the second 4 “3020” is the product ID.<\/b><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
2. Add an udev rule for that device<\/b><\/p>\n
Next, run the command below in terminal to create a custom udev config file:<\/p>\n
sudo gnome-text-editor \/etc\/udev\/rules.d\/40-disable-wakeup-triggers.rules<\/pre>\n
Here replace gnome-text-editor<\/code> according to your desktop environment, gedit<\/code> for old GNOME (22.04 and earlier), musepad<\/code> for XFCE, or use nano<\/code> instead that works in most desktops.<\/i><\/p>\n
When file opens, write the line below (replace 3151<\/code> and 3020<\/code> to yours):<\/p>\n
ACTION==\"add|change\", SUBSYSTEM==\"usb\", DRIVERS==\"usb\", ATTRS{idVendor}==\"3151\", ATTRS{idProduct}==\"3020\", ATTR{power\/wakeup}=\"disabled\"<\/pre>\n
Here<\/p>\n
