USB keyboard and mouse stopped working on the next reboot after upgrade. I disconnected an USB bluetooth key from a back USB port, rebooted, and everything restored to normality. My personal conclusion: there is a bug in the bluetooth firmware update that may cause a general USB crash when an USB bluetooth key is connected. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.21 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: alvaro 2225 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: alvaro 2225 F.... pulseaudio CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Dependencies: DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=fd59aa5f-2c5c-44c8-9fd3-36c7b5ec516a InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-10-25 (2634 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20130213) IwConfig: lo no wireless extensions. enp7s0 no wireless extensions.
