USB Bluetooth dongle prevents suspend

  • 772

On my 18.04 machine with stock kernel 4.15, I'm using a run-of-the-mill CSR Bluetooth dongle. Problem now is that the machine will not suspend properly when that dongle is plugged in - it will go to sleep for something between 5 and 10 seconds, but then resume on its own, even if no Bluetooth devices are currently connected or even powered on. When I unplug the dongle before suspend, it stays suspended as it should.

I could just turn off USB wakeup entirely, but I was hoping there's a more nuanced solution that just prevents wakeup via the Bluetooth dongle...

lsusb, usb-devices, hcitool output for dongle:

  1. Power off device during suspend, power on during resume

    From this answer:

    You can create a script called /lib/systemd/system-sleep/cambridge.sh

    #!/bin/bash
ZeroBUS1=$(lsusb | grep 0a12:0001 | cut -c  5-7 )
BUS1=$(echo $ZeroBUS1 | sed 's/^0*//') # Strip leading zeros
ZeroBUS2=$(lsusb | grep 0a12:0001 | cut -c  16-18 )
BUS2=$(echo $ZeroBUS2 | sed 's/^0*//') # Strip leading zeros
BUS="$BUS1"-"$BUS2"    

case $1 in
    suspend|suspend_hybrid|hibernate)
        echo "Powering off: $BUS"
        echo "$BUS" | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/unbind
        ;;
    resume|thaw)
        echo "Powering on: $BUS"
        echo "$BUS" | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/bind
        ;;
esac

    Mark the file as executable with 

    sudo chmod a+x /lib/systemd/system-sleep/cambridge.sh

    You may need to reboot for changes to take effect.
