[Bug 1563491] [NEW] usb storage devices are no longer recognised by the kernel
You have been subscribed to a public bug:
My laptop no longer recognises the usb storage devices; I tested with 3
different devices (usb sticks, external HDD), on all 3 usb ports of the
laptop (I think one of them is usb 3.0, the others 2.0).
I am sure it is not a hardware problem, as the BIOS can read the devices
and I can boot from the usb stick.
I read on a forum that the usb_storage kernel module may be required and
so I loaded it manually (and I added it in /etc/modules), but it did not
help.
The /var/log/{syslog,dmesg,udev} files did not show any new lines when I
inserted the flash pen into the usb port.
The only package that I have installed that it could interfere with the kernel abilities to detect the usb devices is virtualbox:
root@zmb-laptop:~# apt-cache policy virtualbox
virtualbox:
Installed: 4.3.36-dfsg-1+deb8u1ubuntu1.14.04.1
Candidate: 4.3.36-dfsg-1+deb8u1ubuntu1.14.04.1
Version table:
*** 4.3.36-dfsg-1+deb8u1ubuntu1.14.04.1 0
500 http://ro.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/multiverse amd64 Packages

100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
4.3.10-dfsg-1 0
500 http://ro.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/multiverse amd64 Packages
This may not help much, but I have the same Kubuntu 14.04 distribution
installed on my office workstation (an intel i7 lenovo desktop unit) and
it is successfully detecting and mounting the usb stick (it has the same
3.13.0-83-generic kernel version).
The output of various commands that may help:
