USB Mouse freezes after a few minutes

armoredvortex · 2023-12-19 17:55:07

USB mouse freezes after 10-15 minutes of usage randomly.
It's so random that sometimes it'd work for an hour without any problem, and sometimes freeze within 5 minutes

The light under the mouse is still on but it doesn't seem to register any movements.
The mouse works fine on manjaro on same hardware.

Mouse shows up in lsusb output:

Try to disable https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Power_ … utosuspend - "usbcore.autosuspend=-1"
nb. that userspace powermanagement services like TLP can and will override this at runtime and you'll have to change the configuration there (as well)

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I already had the autosuspend kernel parameter set
and I'm only using xfce power manager.
The issue still persists

Does anything show up in dmesg/the system journal when this happens?
Does the mouse this generate events in evtest?
Does itunfreeze if you re-plug the mouse?

I can confirm this started for me today too. It freezes then starts working again a second or two later. Very annoying.

dmesg output says it got disconnected, and reconnected again

I did not connect/disconnect the mouse physically.

Sorry i don't know how that works

No, the only way i get it to work again is by rebooting.

sudo evtest

select the mouse and move it a bit to see whether it generates events.
Since the mouse seems to re-show on the bus, this might actually work and the problem is only your display server "losing" it.
You can also try

sudo libinput debug-events

to test the middleware.

There're three disconnects of the device in the dmesg segment: 481s, 4904s and 4966s events into the boot

Assuming 4966s is you trying whether the re-connect revives it and 4904s the spurious event: any idea about the incident at 481s?

It all happened on its own

Nope. The mouse was already plugged in at boot and i didn't connect/reconnect anything.
The device freezed at 4904.

The device shows up in evtest menu but has stopped registering anything.

The dmesg out is also different this time around

[ 4434.762494] usb 1-1-port2: disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling...

[ 3604.559706] usb 1-1-port2: disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling...

[ 3358.545348] usb 1-1-port2: disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling...

All of those multiple disconnection events fired up on their own.

sudo libinput debug-events

This doesn't register anything as well.

Forgot to add : changing the USB port doesn't work as well.

Manjaro is probably running the LTS kernel, so you might want to try that.
That being said: the device clearly flickers - it disconnects "randomly" and re-connects immediately.
One thing you might try is to actually install TLP and configure it to explicitly disable autosuspend for the specific device.
