Description of problem: Running powertop --auto-tune is a great way to reduce power consumption by enabling autosuspend for all USB devices. Unfortunately, some USB devices don't perform well with autosuspend enabled, especially keyboards and mice (for example Logitech K800, M570 and M325, all with a Unifying Receiver). Having an option not to enable USB autosuspend for these devices when using --auto-tune would make their users' life easier. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.9-3.fc27 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. With one of the above devices connected, run powertop --auto-tune Actual results: The device suspends too quickly (e.g. in the middle of typing a password) and it takes noticeable time to wake it up again. Expected results: The device doesn't get autosuspended. Additional info: See bug #1482649.
It's a good idea, but it's better to address it upstream. Blacklist will probably not work, maybe better would be to skip all HID devices, and add new parameter e.g. --auto-tune-hid to forcibly enable autosuspend for HID devices. FYI fine grained control is possible with the powertop2tuned tool from the 'tuned' package. It creates Tuned profile from the powertop suggestions and you can manually enable just what you need (e.g keep the problematic HID devices from auto-suspending). The Tuned profile is automatically applied on each boot.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life. On 2018-Nov-30 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 27. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '27'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 27 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
