Asus ROG Falchion shutting down linux computer

25. jūnijs, 2024

On my Arch linux laptop I have problem when computer after some time turns off. No errors just regular shut down procedure.

After inspecting journalctl I found out that someone is sending power off signal. And that someone is Asus ROG Flachion keyboard which when entering standby mode sends “Power key pressed short” signal to computer.

After problem was identified it was just matter of one google seach query and I found solution to this problem

Open directory /etc/udev/hwdb.d

cd /etc/udev/hwdb.d
