Have an HP g7-1070us lappy running 11.04 64 bit (Ubuntu classic/not Unity).
have a wired optical mouse connected to the single right-hand USB port that has been rock-solid.
Here's where I am having issues: have 4 usb external drives connected to usb> either of the 2 left-hand usb ports. Been having intermittent problems keeping the drives mounted. By intermittent I mean they sometimes stay mounted for a day or 2 when running bit torrents. Sometimes they stay mounted for a few hours, sometimes only a few minutes after boot up.
I can't consistently replicate the problem *except* for this: when I connect my i-pod USB cable (i-pod connected) to either the usb hub or the 2/2 of the left hand usb ports on the lappy itself.
Frequently, but not always, have same issue when connecting my multi-format flash memory reader.
I do not have any of these issues with any of the external usb devices on my old Lenovo t-60 running 11.04 32 bit (also in classic) so I think I can eliminate it being a hardware problem with the external devices. Also want to add I have no problems running any of the devices off the right-hand USB on the HP.
Help! This is driving me nuts. I have quite a few usb devices and doing the cable swap/reboot is getting really old.
