[Bug 1464723] Re: Human interface devices stop working on USB 2.0 ports after some time, continue to work on USB 3.0

 

I just tested the linked upstream kernel. It does not change the
behavior, I am observing the same bug on v4.1-rc8-unstable.

I added the tag accordingly.

Regarding the question whether this was happening after an upgrade.
Well it's actually a little complicated. 
If my memory does not deceive me, I did not observe this problem when I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on this laptop in 2012.
Some time afterwards, after an update this problem occurred.
Unfortunately at the time I was otherwise occupied so I just attached the mouse to the USB 3.0 port and did not report the bug.
And by the time my schedule had cleared up a bit I had forgotten all about the problem, until I recently switched USB ports with the mouse and stumbled upon it again.
So it is probably a regression albeit only compared to a three year old kernel.

I will try testing the 12.04.X releases and see if I can actually find a
reliably good version, and then maybe start bisecting from there, though
this may take some time.

If some other debugging information would be useful let me know.

Title:
  Human interface devices stop working on USB 2.0 ports after some time,
  continue to work on USB 3.0

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On my Asus X93SV-YZ225V laptop my mouse as well as all other 'human interface devices' (I tried it with a second mouse and a keyboard) stop working at a random time after boot, when attached to a USB 2.0 port.
  Other USB-devices (I tried it with several USB Flash drives) continue to work on the USB 2.0 ports.

  The USB 3.0 port on the laptop does not show this behavior, i.e. a
  human interface device never stops working.

  Unplugging and replugging the mouse does not reactivate it.

  The mouse works again for a random amount of time after a reboot or a
  wake-up from suspend to RAM.

  When the mouse stops working the respective /dev/input/mouseX device
  does not produce any output either.

  The touchpad, that is connected via PS/2, does not show this bug.
