display stops syslog shows usb address problem

[young_matthewd]

running ubuntu from a USB stick (SanDisk Cruzer - 16G)....

every once in a while the display stops. meaning that the screen goes blank (or rather turns beige) and the desktop never returns. have to restart the laptop (HP Lifebook S Series).

found in the system log:

kernel: [ 3.764056] usb 3-1: device not accepting address 2, error -71

find the same entry similar display stops. have seen similar bug reports but they are usually related to not being able to access USB devices at all. i am booting from one.

Hi young_matthewd,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid.

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 311807

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
