Also this bug has a random period of occurrence. For example now i work with the new kernel and every usb device works fine even if plug and unplug. Other times when i boot with the new kernel some devices if connected(like usb media, or usb flash disk) work fine but mouse doesnt. Now if one of these devices is disconnected then there is no way you can get it back. Of course no chance for the mouse unless you restart and you be lucky with the new restart.
Could it be that this is a bug due to falty upgrade of ubuntu? Maybe some weird corruption. In my case when i upgraded there was a problem with the package rarian- compat(probably faulty download). This led to installation failure of packages that depend on it suchs zenity, gdm and many gnome packages for that matter(found by apt-cache depends). Gnome was unable to load. In my case i just loaded with terminal and i --purged the package rarian- compat that was the one i was getting errors and issued an upgrade which led to downloading again the package and finalize the rest of the installation. Im saying this in case other users had problems with upgrade maybe this is what's causing it. -- 2.6.27-7 kernel breaks USB https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281737 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
