Why does my machine sometimes instantly come on from sleep? (lemmy.world)

About 50% of the time, if I choose sleep, it turns back on as soon as it shuts down. This can happen a couple times in a row. Other times, it sleeps normally and only comes back on with keyboard input. I’ve looked at running processes and there doesn’t seem to be anything I dual happening at the times it starts back up. Any ideas?

Does it wake up from mouse movement? I turn off my mouse when putting my PC to sleep otherwise moving it wakes it up.

It does, and it’s sensitive, but I’m very careful to avoid accidentally triggering it and this doesn’t happen on Windows.

You can disable the usb from being allowed to wake up. If it still does, its for some other reason. They have examples on how to do it here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1328823/disable-specific-device-from-waking-up-the-system
