wake on usb

Take a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4466270

It seems like the sort of thing that should be on by default. The best solution would be for a udev rule to add ports with USB keyboards/mice to the wake by usb list.

Thanks for the pointer. I have tried that procedure, but it didn't seem
to make a difference. Could be user error, but I enabled everything in
the list and no change.

Sirdan:
If it's still not working also ensure that the usb ports you're mouse/keyboard are plugged into are powered during suspend (My asus motherboard required me to change a jumper so USB is sourced from +5VSB rather than +5V). Also check for any settings to enable it in the bios. Note that the instructions in the link need to executed after every boot or a script set up to do it for you.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please open a terminal and execute: apport-collect 426353 ?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of Gnome Power Manager is available on Maverick and we are wondering if this bug is still an issue for you with that version? Could you please test and comment back? Thanks in advance.

I just tried this with 10.10. Same behavior. Doesn't wake from sleep on USB mouse/keyboard. The board I'm using to test this on is an Intel D945GCLF2 945GC ATOM330 Mini ITX mainboard. (if that helps). Hope this can be fixed sometime.

[Expired for gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

Has anyone been able to look at this?

I really don't understand why this bug is being treated as Incomplete/Expired. More information was supplied on request, and it has been confirmed to be an issue in the most recent release. Further, this is an issue of chosen defaults & lack of UI. As far as I'm aware it will affect all users, so not hard to track down or requiring apport/debugging info.

If it's worth anything, I can also confirm that this is an issue on 10.04 (Vaio laptop) and 10.10 (desktop). By default, USB devices do not wake from suspend/sleep. There is also no UI to adjust this. Please let us know exactly what information is missing.
