These steps will set the default value for automatic USB suspending to off. Individual devices can still be changed to have it enabled specifically for them.
Steps:
- In terminal enter:
sudo -i
- In terminal enter:
echo "options usbcore autosuspend=-1" > /etc/modprobe.d/custom.conf
- In terminal enter:
update-initramfs -u
- In terminal enter:
exit
Notes:
- Tested on Debian 10 AMD64 XFCE.
- Default value on Debian is '2' which means if a usb device is idle for 2 seconds it should be suspended. '-1' means disable automatic USB suspending.
