One click option to disable usbcore.autosuspend via kernel arguments #120

Closed BaconCatBug closed 11 months ago

BaconCatBug commented 11 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Fedora by default has usbcore.autosuspend enabled (value of 2), which causes havoc on Desktop PCs where this really does not need to be a thing. e.g. causing bluetooth game controllers to disconnect after ~120 seconds.

Describe the solution you'd like A one click option to set the usbcore.autosuspend=-1 kernel argument to all kernels and all future kernels

Describe alternatives you've considered This can be manually done by running the sudo grubby --args="usbcore.autosuspend=-1" --update-kernel=ALL command, but this requires the user to know that is the solution and what the problem is. By having a one-click solution, hopefully it can help more people.

Thanks for this request.

To me, in sounds more like a kernel bug. Did anyone tried to contact the fedora kernel team about this kind of issue ? I tend to think that if a bt game controller is in use, it should prevent suspend from the usb port instead of disable autosuspend for the whole usb sub-system.

Until then would you mind looking to implement a fedy plugin for such purpose ? and submit a PR (I think you got half the job done with the grubby line).

Thanks
