[Bug 1390772] Re: 1058:0820 [Lenovo G505s] External USB3 drive not accessible via USB 3.0 port in Ubuntu 14.10

 

OK, I downloaded and ran the WD Firmware Updater for Windows.  It said
the firmware on the drive was up to date, but I carried on anyway.

The drive still doesn't appear in Dolphin when plugged in to the USB3
port.

The output from the hdparm command (drive plugged in to a USB2 port,
using kernel 3.18 rc4) is as follows:

sudo hdparm -I /dev/sdb

/dev/sdb:

Title:
  1058:0820 [Lenovo G505s] External USB3 drive not accessible via USB
  3.0 port in Ubuntu 14.10

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a Lenovo G505s laptop running dual boot Ubuntu 14.10/Windoes
  8.1.

  If I boot the laptop into Ubuntu and plug the drive into a USB3 port,
  the device shows up in lsusb but is not shown in Dolphin.

  If I boot the laptop into Ubuntu and plug the drive into a USB2 port,
  the device shows up in lsusb and is shown in Dolphin.

  If I boot the laptop into Windows, then Restart and boot into Ubuntu
  (i.e. without fully powering down the Laptop) the external drive
  appears in Dolphin when plugged into a USB3 port.

  Whenever the drive appears in Dolphin I can read from and write to it.
