Ubuntu

la porta usb non funziona

Asked by Martin Pihl

I have just installed Ubuntu 8.04 on a friends older laptop, however the USB ports does not work at all.

A sudo lsusb shows that the USB device (the mouse) IS registered, but the optical light on the mouse is shut and it does not work:

christina@christop:~$ sudo lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:c016 Logitech, Inc. M-UV69a Optical Wheel Mouse
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

I have tried all USB ports, but it's the same. Using sudo lsusb turns on the light on the mouse, but it does not work anyway.

Any ideas why it does not work?

Did you plug anything else in, like a USB memory stick?

Add irqpoll to opstartparameters

Adding 'irqpoll' to /boot/grub/menu.lst like exemplified in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Example did the trick. USB port now work perfectly.
