These days Linux supports a lot of devices. However, occasionally you will find a device that works but only for a while, requiring a reboot to work again. This is often due to the device itself not behaving according to the USB standard, and that's more often than not caused by misbehaving USB suspend.
The proper way of fixing this would be either a workaround in the driver or, God forbid, a fix in the device's firmware. But quite often nobody does anything, so what's left is to do the improper. And the easiest improper fix is to disable USB autosuspend.
For the command line, just add usbcore.autosuspend=-1 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT:
sudo sed -i 's/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="[a-z ]*/& usbcore.autosuspend=-1/' /etc/default/grub
sudo update-grub2
rebootOnce the system is up, you can check that the value is indeed -1 (disabled).
cat /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend
FYI some USB chipsets hardware can be of poor quality after a while and stops for random reasons after XX minutes.
Do not forget this side effect if your USB mouse/HD/keyboard disconnects itself after a certain amount of minutes of utilization !!!
It was my case and autosusupend kernel changes does not help...
Do not spend so much times on the internet to find alternates/additionals answers !
===> Go to rubbish was my only solution.
