I've checked Wake up from suspend using wireless USB keyboard or mouse (for any Linux Distro) ; its answer appears to already be applied on my PC: the string "enabled" is written to the file /sys/bus/usb/devices/<device>/power/wakeup.

$ grep . /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/product
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-12/product:Integrated_Webcam_HD
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2/product:USB Receiver
/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/product:xHCI Host Controller
/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb2/product:xHCI Host Controller

$ grep . /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/wakeup
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2/power/wakeup:enabled
/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-4/power/wakeup:disabled
/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/power/wakeup:disabled
/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb2/power/wakeup:disabled

It looks like usb device 1-2 is my Logitech usb receiver, and its wakeup file already has the string "enabled". But none of 1) moving my mouse, 2) clicking mouse buttons, or 3) pressing keyboard buttons wakes Ubuntu from sleep -- only lifting the laptop lid does.

What gives? What else can be done to enable wake-from-sleep by wireless mouse/keyboard?

If relevant:

$ uname -a

  1. First, enter the command lsusb. This will show you the names of your USB devices, like this:
$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 058f:6362 Alcor Micro Corp. Flash Card Reader/Writer
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 007 Device 003: ID 413c:2010 Dell Computer Corp. Keyboard
Bus 007 Device 002: ID 413c:1003 Dell Computer Corp. Keyboard Hub
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 413c:3016 Dell Computer Corp. Optical 5-Button Wheel Mouse
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
  1. Find the name of the device you want to use to wake the computer (for example, Dell Computer Corp. Keyboard) and note the number next to Bus (example: Bus 007).
  2. Type sudo nano /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb7/power/wakeup replacing the number in usb7 with the device's Bus number (without the 0's in front, e.g. Bus 007 > usb7).
  3. Change the word disabled to enabled and save the file.

I just added an answer to a similar question that works for kubuntu 24.04.1 LTS when the Bluetooth keyboard doesn't show up as a USB device.
