With the update from 11.04 to 12.04, my USB keyboard activity will wake Ubuntu from 'suspend'. I'd like to disable this. (My battery went dead due to some unexpected keyboard activity.) This didn't happen in 11.04.

The USB PwrMan doc: http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/usb/power-management.txt

Unfortunately, none offer a solution for me.

All my /sys/bus/usb/devices/usbx/wakeup are set to disable. When you get the actual device, those are set to enabled, and are not editable.

cat /proc/acpi/wakeup

EHC1 S3 *enabled
EHC2 S3 *enabled

Is there another way to disable USB wakeup?

I've seen options for this in my BIOS. Maybe try setting it there instead of in the OS?
