alkisgHi, I have an i5 PC that half of the times doesn't see the usb devices at all, doesn't even power them up. Ubuntu 12.04 32bit with the lts-trusty kernel.09:50
alkisgShould I try with some newer kernel?09:51
apwalkisg, sounds like you should file a bug against the kernel, and we can suggest kerenls to try indeed09:51
alkisgI have the pc here at the support office, so today I'm able to try sthings, while later on I'll have to send it back and it'll be difficult to provide more feedback at the bug report...09:52
alkisg...so while I understand that a bug report is the proper thing to do, in this case IRC might help more than a launchpad bug... and of course I can file it for reference if I find a workaround...09:53
alkisgIs there any usb-related modprobe/rmmod that I can do?09:53
alkisgTo try to reload the usb devices?09:53
apwalkisg, well file the bug so we have somewhere to ram logs etc09:57
apwalkisg, and i'd say we want a dmesg and lsusb at a minimum from the broken state09:57
apwalkisg, so like file a bug from the machine with it "ok" and then get it into the bust state and get the dmesg and lsusb and attach those09:58
smbWhile irc may work quicker for you it is not helping in coming up with advice. Not working half of the time is rather vague and obscure. Generally you could try to figure out whether when not working the usb controllers can be initialized by checking dmesg for usb messages.09:58
apwalkisg, so we can see the difference09:58
alkisgI'm at the broken state now, please give me a moment to explore...09:58
alkisgThank you btw09:58
apwalkisg, and then i would recommend trying a v3.19.1 kernel from the mainline archive to see if this is fixed in mainline "near tip"09:58
alkisgGotcha09:58
apwhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds09:58
apwand if that is relaible we can look at finding out when it got fixed09:59
alkisgecho -n "0000:00:14.0" | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/xhci_hcd/unbind10:02
alkisgecho -n "0000:00:14.0" | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/xhci_hcd/bind10:02
alkisg==> allowed me to make the keyboard and mouse work without reboot10:02
alkisgI'll test first to see how reproducible it is here (the user reported half of the times, just want to check if it is indeed frequently reproducible...)10:03
smbwhich shows one missing piece of information is that we are talking about usb3 ports... are there still usb2 ports available. You could try to see whether devices connected there are more reliable10:04
smbalkisg, ^10:04
apwalkisg, right, so what we really care about is why it failed the first time ... as it clearly can connect both "working" and "broken"10:05
apwand that would be visible per10:05
apwperhaps in the differnce in a good and bad dmesg10:05
alkisgNone of the ports give power to the mouse10:08
alkisg(collecting more info, patience please and thanks again for the help...)10:08
infinityzequence: Want to get smoketesty on your kernels so they're ready to go when the rest are?10:08
alkisgAt the broken state: # lsusb -v > lsusb10:10
alkisgCouldn't open device, some information will be missing10:10
alkisgCouldn't get configuration descriptor 0, some information will be missing10:10
alkisgAfter entering the two "echo" commands, lsusb -v no longer complains10:12
alkisgInstalling a newer kernel...10:12
alkisgIt didn't happen with 4 rc4 in 4 tries... I'll try more tomorrow, thank you guys10:24

If the question is should I file a bug for something, likely you can assume yes.
apwcrshman, ok i think those builds are repairing self now, and should be done in the next hours18:06
crshman@apw awesome thanks!18:06
