How to run sudo .sh file after wakeup : Touchpad disabled after upgrading to Ubuntu 17.10

Solution 1:

To automate the call to your script on wakeup, you can add it under /lib/systemd/system-sleep instead of /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d

Here is what I've done:

• sudo touch /lib/systemd/system-sleep/touchpadwakeup
• Put the following content:

#!/bin/sh

case $1 in
  post)
    rmmod i2c_hid
    modprobe i2c_hid
    ;;
esac

• sudo chmod +x /lib/systemd/system-sleep/touchpadwakeup

It works fine but I hope we'll have a cleaner solution (e.g, a patch) in the near future.

Solution 2:

There is discussion and another one solution of this bug here ( in three words: use upstream kernel 4.13.7-041307-generic )

BTW, could you push "This bug affects me" green link on that page, so developers fix it faster. It's really annoying to reload kernel module every time after suspend.
