A friend of mine that talked me into trying Ubuntu sent me this note regarding my USB bug. Does this address my problem?
http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#USB Read this. Then send the link to your helper and ask him/her if this is what would fix the bug. I imagine that Linux (not Ubuntu) is working on fixing the bug and that an updated linux kernal will be released in the near future. When it is, all you have to do is keep your Ubuntu system updated by pressing the blinking orange button. But, anyways, ask your helper if they think this USB 2.0 bug is the one that is keeping your USB port from being recognized by Ubuntu and if the fix described (disabling 2.0 and using a slower USB system) would help your problem. That way, at least, you and your helper will be on the same page as to what they problem is... -- Feisty can't access USB ports https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112357 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
