Hi i just installed and updated sabayon and now my keyboard and mouse go to sleep after one second. It is hard to type or do anything. Did I change a setting and not know it?

Hi, if they are USB devices, then chances are that you need to disable usb autosuspend

Code:

echo -1 >/sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend

to disable it for all usb devices

Code:

echo -1 >/sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/autosuspend

(replacing ... by the path of your usb device) to disable it per device. to not have to run the first command at every reboot, just add

Code:

options usbcore autosuspend=0

to /etc/modprobe.conf (or usbcore.autosuspend=0 to you grub kernel command line)
