Problems with USB since update

[Tymoniden]

Hi,
i recently did an update (march 9th 2012) and after rebooting the system all USB devices aren't working anymore.

I get the following message in /var/log/syslog when i plug in my mouse or keyboard

Mar  9 10:19:37 steib kernel: [ 1129.756345] usb 3-1: new full speed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd
Mar  9 10:19:37 steib kernel: [ 1129.756441] usb 3-1: Device not responding to set address.
Mar  9 10:19:37 steib kernel: [ 1129.960151] usb 3-1: Device not responding to set address.
Mar  9 10:19:38 steib kernel: [ 1130.163803] usb 3-1: device not accepting address 10, error -71 

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 on a Dell Vostro V131

I hope someone can help me.

best regards and thanks,
Timo

Install xorg
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core
if it is already installed
Reconfigure xorg
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

if it does not help,
try to "fix broken packages" in Recovery mode.

Hi

Do the devices start working if you boot into an older kernel ? Do they work from a LiveCD/USB. Just trying to eliminate hardware.

Kind regards

This is not a hardware issue, as the same thing happened to me after updating this morning. My USB wireless connection suddenly gave out, and after rebooting, I lost my USB mouse and keyboard as well.

After running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and waiting a couple minutes, the mouse and keyboard show up again under "lsusb". However, it takes another minute or two before they begin to work, and I still have not figured out how to regain connection through my USB wireless dongle.

In other words, since the update this morning, my Ubuntu desktop is pretty useless. I'm running an eMachines EL1358G desktop.

EDIT/UPDATE: I unplugged and re-plugged in my USB wireless dongle and I am connected to the internet again. Not sure what's going on here.

Hi

Are these USB 3 controllers ?

Nope - these are all USB 2. They all worked out-of-the-box (and actually, with several Ubuntu versions) before this morning's update.

Hi

Are the USB drivers being bound correctly to the kernel ?

yeah "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" worked for me as well. Thanks!
