Hello Everyone,<br><br>I thought an update was in order. After cleaning the computer and taking it back to where I bought it to get a new motherboard installed, the technician tested the usb ports and all 6 worked. Feeling sheepishly stupid, I thanked him and returned home. After plugging everything back in, I booted the computer and found kern.log was only being updated when inserting the usb mouse into 2 of the 4 back usb ports. The front 2 did not work. After sitting for a few minutes without knowing what to do, my Dad suggested turning the power bar off and then on again. What the heck, I might as well try it, I thought. After doing so, I booted the computer and presto! All 6 usb ports worked as they should. I'm still not sure why.<br>
<br>Cheers,<br><br>Randy<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Sep 6, 2009 at 11:04 AM, Randy Jonasz <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rjonasz-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org">rjonasz-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Thanks for the help, everyone. I turned usb off and on in the bios and checked but to no avail. I checked my message logs and no entry is made while plugging the mouse in and taking it out. Alas I think I have a hardware failure. I'll definitely invest in a better surge protector this time.<br>
<br>Thanks again,<br><font color="#888888"><br>Randy</font><div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Sep 6, 2009 at 2:19 AM, Zbigniew Koziol <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:softquake-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org" target="_blank">softquake-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hey Everyone,<br>
<br>
I've run into a situation with kubuntu 9.04. The other night, the hydro flickered on and off. When the computer rebooted, the usb mouse was not recognized. I've tried the mouse on another computer and it works fine. When I use dmesg after inserting the usb mouse, nothing is registered. I've put a ps2 adapter on it and it is working fine. There are no error messages that I can see when linux boots. Is my fear of a hardware unwarranted?<br>

My memory key got broken after it fall on the floor. When I insert it into usb slot, an error message shows up in /var/log/messages. Perhaps you should have a look into that file. Another think is that these error messages are somewhat cryptic and misguiding. I my case, it took me a lot of time to figure out that the device is broken. Googling is not much helpful. I was not able to find a good information about USB related error codes.<br>
