[neogeo]

@lospompadores
Could You please help me to create and enable service to take may Manjaro Cinnamon PC to sleepsuspend (to ram)? All was good till nV driv this is my outpuers updating about a 10 days ago
When i type cat /proc/acpi/wakeup this is my output:

When i set processes from UHC1->UHC7 to state *disabled with sudo sh -c "echo UHC1 > /proc/acpi/wakeup" my PC went to sleep wery well and no wakening but i am a noob and don’t know how to do that but automation when PC starts.

Any HELP?

I don’t know whether Cinnamon has an “autostart” feature that allows you to start things at login, but I presume it does. And in that case, all you’d need to put in there would be a small shell script…

#!/bin/sh

for i in {1..7}
do
    sudo sh -c "echo UHC{i} > /proc/acpi/wakeup"
done

Of course, you would need to make the script executable, and you would need to set up /etc/sudoers so that the above script can be executed without prompting for a password. See…

man sudoers

Disclaimer: I don’t use sleep/suspend/hibernation, so I trust that the command you gave is correct and that it must be sent to /proc/acpi/wakeup for each of the UHC values ─ I don’t know about that because as I said, I don’t use it.

I am only trying to help you in automating the process, so if the script breaks your system, then you get to keep both pieces.

Hi.
Right now i have tried Your script in this form:

#!/bin/sh

for i in (1 2 4 6 7)
do
sudo sh -c "echo UHC{i} > /proc/acpi/wakeup"
done

but this is an output:

[ng@ng-linuxpc Skripte]$ cat /proc/acpi/wakeup
Device	S-state	  Status   Sysfs node
SBAZ	  S4	*disabled
PS2K	  S3	*disabled
PS2M	  S3	*disabled
P0PC	  S4	*disabled  pci:0000:00:14.4
GEC	  S4	*disabled
UHC1	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:12.0
UHC2	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:12.2
USB3	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:13.0
UHC4	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:13.2
USB5	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:16.0
UHC6	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:16.2
UHC7	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:14.5
... ... ... ... ... ... ...

and this is not working but i don’t know to write script alone

Please help to disable

UHC1	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:12.0
UHC2	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:12.2
USB3	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:13.0
UHC4	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:13.2
USB5	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:16.0
UHC6	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:16.2
UHC7	  S4	*enabled   pci:0000:00:14.5

Of course, you would need to make the script executable, and you would need to set up /etc/sudoers so that the above script can be executed without prompting for a password. See…

Beware, this is very dangerous.

Use the command:

sudo visudo

At the bottom add:

YourUsername ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

Save it, and quit

Normally, I would say run the script at boot with your rc.local file, but I don’t think arch systems have this. I can’t find it on my KDE system anyway.

[Strit]

Another way, and probably safer, as it does not require messing with sudoers file is to create the script, without sudo and make it run as a systemd-unit:

Don’t use ellipses.

It is, yes, but what the OP is asking about is very unusual, and I trust they will be responsible and properly inform themselves.

That was my initial thought as well, but as I’ve never written a systemd service file, I would have to sufficiently research this subject myself before giving the OP any advice on how to do it.

[neogeo]

Hello.
I found the time only now to try the ellipse-free script again and everything is fine when running, but the output for UHC1 … UHC7 is still the same *enabled

[neogeo]

So no one to help and write a working script?!?!
(I don’t know how to write that otherwise I would do it)

@neogeo

Can you explain, what you are trying to accomplish?

I see you want to disable S4, what is hibernation (sleep-to-disk)…

Isn’t it easier to edit this file: /etc/systemd/sleep.conf and add there:

AllowHibernation=no
AllowSuspendThenHibernate=no
AllowHybridSleep=no

Just an idea

[neogeo]

@megavolt

Can you explain, what you are trying to accomplish?

I am trying to state *disable UHC1…UHC7 and USB1…USB3 ports because when state *ensbled my PC won’t Suspend (to RAM).
Now i’m gonna try Your advice and post a result.

@neogeo Glad that it works. I changed the topic name and marked my post as solution. Feel free to change it if you disagree.
