My Logitech G Pro wireless does not work unless replugged at every boot. Is there any workaround/fix? Or is it a persistent bug? I’ve been experiencing this across multiple distros and wireless mice

EDIT: Adding usbcore.autosuspend=-1 to my kernel boot parameters seems to fix the problem. Thanks everyone!

    I suppose you use a USB dongle? I’m not familiar with that mouse. It is not a Bluetooth one right ?

    If it is a USB one , then Linux just closes-switxhes off every USB port on boot unless you instruct it to leave one open which means you have to keep the dongle constantly plugged in the port if you suspend to sleep. Don’t know which distro u have but there are quite few guides online to make this happen.

      It’s a dongle, I use OpenSuse Tumbleweed

        Hello again. Don’t know if you solved this but here’s what I did to my system (also OpenSuseTumbleweed). Create a file in /usr/local/sbin/ , lets say usbwakeup.sh. In that file put this:

        #!/bin/bash
#
#######################
# GENERAL INFORMATION #
#######################
#
# - This script enables / disables wake up from suspend# for USB devices.
#
# - The script needs execution permissions.
#
# - For this script to be executed when the system starts, there must be
#   a symbolic link to it in /etc/rc3.d/ with priority S01
#   (for example: /etc/rc3.d/S01usbwakeup)
#
###########################
# RELATED USEFUL COMMANDS #
###########################
#
# - Identify USB devices:
#   grep . /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/product
#
# - Check the status of "wake up of the suspension" of USB devices:
#   grep . /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/wakeup
#
#
##################
# SCRIPT ACTIONS #
##################
#
# Disables wake up from suspend for optical mouse
#echo disabled > /sys/bus/usb/devices/3-3/power/wakeup
#
# Enables wake up from suspend for the wireless keyboard
#that I have connected to a USB 3.0 HUB in the USB port nr.4
echo enabled > /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2/power/wakeup

        Then in /etc/systemd/system/ create a file eg. my-wakeup.service and insert :

        [Unit]
Desription=Usb wakeup    

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/usbwakeup.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

        Save of course everything, keep the dogle in and restart. This will work in every wakeup from suspend and also when restarting. If you unplug the dongle you will have to put it back in and restart to make this to work again.

        Hope that helps.
