USB mouse stopped working after plugging into a USB-C dock

Support
1

So i bought an usb-c dock (jeswo), i plugged my usb mouse into that and it worked fine.
I unplugged the dock, plugged into my steamdeck, played (worked fine) and then plugged back, my laptop did not recognize the mouse. (I tried every port on the dock and every port on my laptop).
The led is working, but no input whatsoever.

The mouse works just fine with the steamdeck and with other devices too.
Nothing changes if I use the dock usb port or on the laptop.
I tried to use ChatGPT to solve the problem, but got into a loop and did not find any solution.

What info do you need?

UPDATE:
I rolled back to the 6.1 kernel, but it’s still not working.

when you need fixes with proof, specially on configuration never ever rely on ChatGPT or any LLMs with no source.

recently went in cicles for a entire day getting mouse to to work on freeBSD, first query on perplexity fixed it though

Is the laptop in AC or BAT mode? Is the power cord plugged in? This makes a difference, because TLP is generally used on Manjaro, but also power saving or shutting down ports in BAT mode is the default unless configured otherwise, e.g. by TLP.

You can try force switching to AC:

sudo tlp ac

The mouse isn’t working on either AC or battery power. I’m not using TLP.

I tought about USB auto-suspend but i don’t think i configured that feature.

[i3hunor@HunorT480 ~]$ systemctl status tlp
○ tlp.service - TLP system startup/shutdown
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/tlp.service; disabled; preset: disabled)
     Active: inactive (dead)

Auto suspend, so power saving is always the default. It will always suspend. With TLP, you could disable it or configure it more finely.

I run auto-cpufreq so i dont want to run TLP. I dont think auto-suspend is the problem cause the mouse is not recognized either in xinput either in lib-input.

Well, you can think what you would like. Prove it.

Based on this, it must be this path:

echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-4.2/power/autosuspend_delay_ms
echo "on" | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-4.2/power/control
cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-4.2/power/autosuspend_delay_ms
cat /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-4.2/power/control

You are right.

After turning auto-suspend off (your path was right)

1
on
1
on

But still no mouse and no changes in xinput.

Then do the same with the hub aka the dock. However, it is much easier with TLP to disable it everywhere. :man_shrugging:

Btw… TLP is not just for the CPU, it can control more.

I know but they said that it is good practice to not run them side by side cause they can intervene. And the mouse worked just fine before the dock.

Currently it is plugged into the dock.

This is with the laptop’s USB ports.

$ echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/power/autosuspend_delay_ms
1
$ echo "on" | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1/power/control
on

Still no mouse and no change in xinput.
