View Full Version : [ubuntu] Ipod breaking USB connectivity on Kensington hub

I'm running Hardy on a Toshiba A215-S4747.

I have a 3g Ipod Nano. It will (finally, after much fiddling) connect to the laptop's usb port without problem.

However, I have a 7-port Kensington hub with a External Raptor HDD and a cruzer thumb connected to it. By themselves, they are fine and are recognized properly. However, as soon as I connect the Ipod to it (which is preferable to me), the Ipod's screen goes dark and the two components already connected to the hub lose connectivity and the thumb also loses power.

Even after disconnecting the iPod, no amount of current internet suggestions or plug/unplug combinations can get Ubuntu to use the hub. A reboot is required, and sometimes two.

Here is the dmesg after plugging in the Ipod.

I can confirm this problem. I have a USB hub in Dell 2007 WFP. I can detect iPOd in two cases:

1) when it was connected at the PC sturtup
2) when I connect it directly to PC, not to hub
