I just reloaded the production drive in the test machine with the GA release of Xubuntu 14.04 x64 and find that the USB mouse is working as expected.
I note the mention of nvidia drivers in #11. I had not added those what I found USB ports dead. I need to install those. I had opened a bug report about difficulties installing the nvidia drivers on this machine, here: "Nvidia Optimus + bumblebee configuration not optimized by default" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1280613 We shall see if that damages USB mouse support, if it actually works as well in the GA release. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1304808 Title: All USB ports/devices randomly stop working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1304808/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
