Hi, I'll do my best - if you want more information, or I am unclear please let me know. I've been using Ubuntu (and Debian derived distros for about 10 years - so hopefully I'm slightly helpful). I have noticed that on Ubuntu 15.10 (on a new System76 Lemur laptop - which I believe is ACER based), and is Intel board based, that the USB 3 ports are only operational if a USB 2 device is plugged into them. If I plug a USB 3 device (thumbdrive, external HDD, any (manufacturers) USB 3 device into the laptop's USB 3 port (I have two and behaviour is the same for both) the device is not recognised. Using lsusb verifies the non-recognition of the USB 3 devices. USB 2 devices work as expected on the laptop's USB 3 ports (as well as the laptop's single USB 2 port). How can I help & what do you need from me to help isolate the issue. Regards, Andor
Ok, I see. Does dmesg show anything suspicious? ("dmesg > logfile" after connecting the usb device) Also output of "lspci -nn" and "lsusb -t" could be helpful Thanks -Mathias -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
