usb ports randomly shut off Jaunty beta (SOLVED)

[Chem. Imbalance]

{SOLVED--see below}
On Jaunty beta (and previous alphas) I notice that my mouse stops responding after a seemingly random amount of time. All the usb ports it turns out shut off--I've tried plugging various devices in all ports after the mouse stops responding and they are all without power. (edit:) However, all the devices still work except for the mouse until you replug them in--then they have no power.

Intrepid works perfectly on this machine with this bug never occuring before except in the Jaunty alphas and beta.

Also, all my usb ports (according to my mobo manual) should be USB 2.0 compliant. For some reason, Ubuntu is not detecting all of the hubs as 2.0. My motherboard is an Asus M3N78-Pro.

I'm using the latest nVidia driver from Jaunty--180.44

NOTE: the following attachments/terminal outputs are before the issue occurs (since my mouse doesn't work when the bug happens).
(EDIT): I have attached my lsusb and dmesg out put also AFTER the bug occurs.

Notice that nvidia is sharing an irq with my usb hub # 3.

I had my mouse plugged into usb hub 3 and I had freezing.
I simply moved my mouse to hub 4 and no more freezing.

It seems it is an irq problem for me.

[Chem. Imbalance (moonlightpastel-deactivatedaccount)]

Since this bug report, I have experienced recurrences of this bug at least six times as of April 1, 09.

Fully updated too.

[Chem. Imbalance (moonlightpastel-deactivatedaccount)]

Also I have noticed that when this bug occurs, the keyboard still works until you replug it in--at which time it receives no power. All deviced plugged into usb ports when the mouse stops responding still receive power unless they are unplugged and then plugged back in--then they don't receive any power.
The mouse seems to be the only device that doesn't respond at all.

[Chem. Imbalance (moonlightpastel-deactivatedaccount)]

Here is my dmesg and lsusb output after the bug occurs

[Chem. Imbalance (moonlightpastel-deactivatedaccount)]

Well a strange thing just happened...
After about 25 occurrences of this bug only affecting my mouse, it just happened to my keyboard and not my mouse.

Since my keyboard wasn't working, I was able to go into Sys., Admin.,Log File Viewer and paste the following output of kern.log:

[Jacob Harrison (fictional-truth)]

Having the same issue, but my lsusb hangs after the mouse stops working.

It seems random, but it's never happened while the system was idle. I've noticed it stop while watching full screen flash videos (ala hulu.com), playing Nexuiz, and consistantly when I try to open more than one pdf at a time.

Hope that helps.

 It seems uninstalling the nvidia drivers solves this problem (so far).

[/dev/null (arndt-stedler)]

I have the same here on an ASRock K10N78FullHD-hSLI mainboard (nvidia 8200 chipset)
but furthermore sometimes my soundcard is just not responding.

I could make out the following:
USB (OHCI-part) and VGA 8200 share the same IRQ 21
    and
USB(EHCI-part) and audio ALC1200 (onBoard) share IRQ 22

It seems to be an IRQ-sharing problem (probably with USB?)
Taking the latest nvidia graphics drivers (180.51) make it happen less often, but it still happens.

By the way i am using an AMD X3-(8650) Processor and 4 GB RAM
 - /dev/null

It happened again... here are the log-messages

This problem is exceedingly frustrating. It will be a non-issue for a month and then it's happened three times today. It does seem to happen only when the computer is under a large load, It never seems to happen at under 50% usage on both cores, most of the time when the usb stops working and I think to glance over at conky, it seems at least one core is above 90% usage (ram usage at around 750 megs - 1 gig). I've noticed that my lsusb no longer hangs after it happens, however it's spitting out the exact same information it does when the usb ports work.

I'm running Jaunty 64 bit, on an AMD x2, with 4gigs of ram and an Nvidia 7900gs (not sure if that helps any).

[Chris Oliver (excid3)]

I have been experiencing the same problem. Upgrading to the proposed kernel in Jaunty 32 bit did not have this happen for almost a month and then it has happened 3 times in the past 2 days. Also boot hangs on the bluetooth module occasionally which seems to happen on reboot after this had happened on the old kernel. It has only hung on bluetooth once since upgrading to the other kernel.

[Mike Gerwitz (mikegerwitz)]

I have also been experiencing this problem since upgrading to Jaunty. My keyboard and mouse are attached through the same USB receiver. The mouse will stop responding, but the keyboard will continue to work. I did notice, however, that the multimedia keys on the keyboard no longer respond after the occurrence.

lsusb just hangs - it cannot be killed with Ctrl+C.

dmesg shows usb disconnect. Unplugging the device and plugging it back in will result in the keyboard being unresponsive as well. Connecting a new mouse is useless - the device does not receive power. However, connecting my mini USB bluetooth dongle does receive power and is recognized by the OS.

This issue occurs seemingly randomly and forces me to use a PS/2 mouse - incredibly frustrating.

Anyway, prepare for a buttload of information.

Installing the 2.6.30 kernel from here http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ fixes this problem for me so far.

Everyone here should give it a shot.

I've only been using it for a day, but so far it's working nicely.

[Chris Oliver (excid3)]

hey great! i have since moved to debian for the time being to get some
actual stability :P its working great as well. i never went with fedora
because i love deb based distros so much better. let me know how it goes
after a week of usage but i think ill probably stick with the debian
squeeze/sid setup that i've got right now. thanks for the update!

2.6.30 is a no-go.

Started freezing yesterday.

[Chris Oliver (excid3)]

Dang. I've been running Debian Lenny and it has been treating me very
nicely. Using 2.6.29 and the 180.44 nvidia driver with no issues so
far...but we shall see.

[Mike Gerwitz (mikegerwitz)]

Most recent nVidia drivers (185.18.14) does not solve the issue.

[Mike Gerwitz (mikegerwitz)]

I would also like to add that it seems the issue is recurring more often. I cannot go an hour without the problem. This is a very severe issue - I'm unable to use my Ubuntu box productively and find myself spending much of my time on my work-issued Windows PC, which lacks a vast majority of the tools I need more my development.

When using a KVM switch to switch between my work and home PCs, the mouse first goes, then the keyboard. When switching to the Windows PC, they're re-activated (re-powered). Switching back, no power. The USB mouse that was not connected to the KVM switch continues to operate properly. Previous to the KVM switch being installed, the USB mouse attached directly to the computer would have the same issue.

@ Chris Oliver

I just moved to Debian Lenny today and what a breath of fresh air!

I compiled a version of 2.6.30 from the Debian source and all is going nicely.

I like Debian. I'm probably just gonna stay with it.

Btw, I'm using "Testing", the rolling release not "Squeeze".

Good luck to all.

[Chris Oliver (excid3)]

@ Chemical Imbalance

Great! I'm glad to hear it. I'll no longer be using Ubuntu as I really just
need stability. I'm using a mix of Squeeze and Sid.

So if it's not the kernel and it's not the nvidia driver. What do you think
it might be?

I don't know what it could be. Perhaps the ubuntu kernel has some buggy patches or untested features enabled?

I'm content on staying with Debian as well except for the "Stable vs. Unstable Conundrum".

Stable is old and even Testing is buggy. My gksu and nm-applet are broken in Testing.

I switched to wicd and still can't resolve the gksu issue.

How are things on your side?

What method are you using to backport Sid packages to Testing?

[Chris Oliver (excid3)]

I'll give you my sources.list in a bit that you can check out.
Everything seems to be working perfectly fine for me. I got the
repositories off a friend who is a big debian user. Using his sources
I haven't had a single problem (other than being on dialup :P )

So last night, I was using WinXP on my desktop that has been having
the issues...and all of a sudden it blue screened with a usbhub.sys
error. I wonder if it is an actual hardware issue.

Thanks for the sources.list.

I hope this isn't a hardware issue.

What motherboard do you have?

I haven't had any issues with XP on my machine.

No blue screens or freezes at all, even with the nvidia drivers.

I don't use XP much however.

[Chris Oliver (excid3)]

I've got the M4N78. I have not had any issues in XP until the other
night. I'm starting to wonder what really is causing the problem. Do
you have a USB hub connected to your computer? I am wondering if that
is causing problems with my other USB devices.

[Chem. Imbalance (moonlightpastel-deactivatedaccount)]

I don't use any external usb hubs with any of my pc's.

Motherboard manufacturers are known for using cheap internal usb hubs on their mobos though.

I've heard of people having issues with cheap internal hubs.

The thing is that only Jaunty has given me this problem.

XP, Hardy, BSD, and Intrepid work perfectly with my M3N78-PRO.

I did have a fairly new keyboard die on me with this desktop however. Maybe a voltage issue?

This is a pretty cryptic bug. It might also be a BIOS setting conflict.

[Chris Oliver (excid3)]

Well, I spoke too soon, Debian just stopped my USB mouse. Keyboard kept
working, unplugged both and neither get power just like always.

It could very well be cheap internal hubs. I wouldn't put it past them. I
couldn't get Hardy to work because it would not detect the onboard Nvidia
8300 to install the nvidia drivers to use my dual monitors. I hope that my
keyboard or mouse don't die because of this mobo.

I messed around with some BIOS stuff as well and am running 0905 which is
the latest driver for it to no avail. Looks like I'll just be using XP...but
even on XP I got BSOD'd by the usbhub.sys driver. I just can't trust this
much.

[Chris Oliver (excid3)]

Someone on Fedora 11 said that their USB keyboard would stop working in the
same manner as ours. He removed a USB extension cable that he was using and
that fixed the problem. I'm wondering if our issue is relatively similar.

[Chem. Imbalance (moonlightpastel-deactivatedaccount)]

My mouse and keyboard are directly connected to the usb hubs on the motherboard.

No cables here.

I went back to Jaunty because Debian started doing the same thing.

Right now I just put up with rebooting every time it freezes (every few hours, sometimes it goes upwards of 6).

[Mike Gerwitz (mikegerwitz)]

My motherboard came with additional USB ports that may be connected optionally. I removed it on the 19th after reading the above posts, and I have not had any problems since. While I'd like to give it a bit more time, it does seem to hint at a hardware issue. When I have the time I will attempt to see if it is simply the USB header on the motherboard that is causing the problem, or if the problem occurs regardless of which header it is connected to.

I do still have my case's USB ports connected to the motherboard without problems. For those who do have USB ports on their case (or any other external USB ports), try disconnecting them and see if it resolves the issue. If so, try connecting it to a different header. Seeing as how this problem occurred daily for myself, this is a huge improvement. I haven't had to reboot since.

[Chris Oliver (excid3)]

I realized I have never plugged the mouse into a different USB port. I do
not have optional ports (not that I know of). I will play around with it and
see.

After I attached a fan (Arctic Cooler 3) on the "Northbridge" on my ASRock K10N78FullHD-hSLI it seems to be (as far as i can say right now) better. I haven't had any USB issues lately.
I am using Ubuntu with kernel "2.6.30-020630-generic" and NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.14 driver [NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.14-pkg1.run]
But every time i attach another USB-Stick or my camera i am still anxious :-(

I now hope it might be only an temperature issue. (I had this before on another ASRock mainboard... wrong usage of heat-conductive paste on shipping (one spot in the middle and that was it...))

I will report whether the system will run smooth and stable now.

arndt@hiveserver:~$ uptime
 08:52:46 up 1 day, 11:43, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.07, 0.18

[Chris Oliver (excid3)]

I may try it on mine as well. The mobo itself runs cool at 36C (maybe that's
hot for a mobo?) but the processor is at 50C normally with stock heatsink
and probably somewhat messed up thermal paste. It is running hotter than
when I first built the machine so this could definitely be a heat issue. If
I remember right, it was about 40C when I first turned it on and was
monitoring idle temps. Would make sense if it was a heat issue.

Nope... Attaching a fan to the northbridge was not a solution.
i resized the VLC Window when suddenly the mouse died. The keyboard was still functional (Num-Lock light reacted as expected) but the screen did not react as it should. VLC did still play the movie but ALT+F2 did not show up the starter. It took about 45 seconds before my screen reacted to my keyboard again. Luckily i was able to shutdown the system correctly.

[Chris Oliver (excid3)]

Well crap. This bug is really aggravating me. And yet it is not a problem in
Fedora for Chemical Imbalance. Maybe it's time I contact Asus and see if
they know of the issue seeing as we can't resolve it. :(

For what i have seen so far it might be an IRQ or IRQ sharing problem.
Does anybody encounter this problem when using an external graphics card?
It seems that this bug occurs randomly (in my case it seems to be connected with a video player. It does not matter whether driver i use (nvidia or nv or vesa) sometimes when this bug occurs and i do not shut down, but RESTART, my onboard soundcard is malfunctioning too (no sound at all).
Just a wild guess: When there is the "right" combination of Interrupts the system just drops one of them or signals a complete wrong state.
As soon as i have a little spare money i buy a PCIe card to test it.

[Chris Oliver (excid3)]

Just talked to a friend who seems to have had the same issue. He thinks its
related to X11 and mentioned writing the xorg.conf from scratch fixed it for
him. Anyone tried this yet? I haven't surprisingly.

[Chem. Imbalance (moonlightpastel-deactivatedaccount)]

I think I found the solution to my freezing at the least.

I believe it is an issue with IRQ assignment and sharing. I posted in a thread about this on the ubuntuforums.

Here are my /proc/interrupts and my lsusb:

Notice that nvidia is sharing an irq with my usb hub # 3.

I had my mouse plugged into usb hub 3 and I had freezing.
I simply moved my mouse to hub 4 and no more freezing.

It seems it is an irq problem for me.

Good luck all.

That's before changing usb ports on the mouse, I believe my mouse is one of the "Logitech, Inc." entires but since my keyboard has two useb ports on it as well I'm afriad I can't really tell which it is. I'm assuming it's the ID 046d:c223, because after switching usb ports that's the device that moved.

This is after switching the mouse to a different usb port:

I'm assuming since it stayed on bus 2

[Chem. Imbalance (moonlightpastel-deactivatedaccount)]

It looks like nvidia is sharing an irq with your IVTV device. I'm assuming that's a usb tv tuner?

Try plugging your tuner into another port.

[Chem. Imbalance (moonlightpastel-deactivatedaccount)]

I'm going to mark this SOLVED since I have the solution and its been three days and no freezing whatsoever.

Good luck to everyone else. Check your irq assignments with "cat /proc/interrupts" and check what nvidia is sharing an irq with. Look at your lsusb and move whatever device it is sharing with to another hub/port.

This at least works for me.

[Jacob Harrison (fictional-truth)]

Actually, it's a pci tv tuner card. Would moving it to a different pci slot help be something to try or would they all share one irq? Removing it all together is an option, I haven't used it since switching to Ubuntu, and even with vista and xp, I didn't use it often. Could it be sata_nv (which I'm assuming is a hard drive) and intel ICH (the southbridge chip after a little research) sharing an irq, I've noticed the mouse stops working periodically when I'm transfering large amounts of files from my IDE drive to my SATA drive. Since I can't move the southbridge obviously, I suppose I could try the other SATA connector. But first, since Chem's bug seems to have been solved by resolving the conflict with the nvidia graphics card, I guess I'll start by removing the Tuner card.

Since I've failed to do it in any amount of detail, I'll post a more specific system profile, maybe we can find something similar about all the systems having the bug.
Mobo: Foxconn C51GU01 North: Geforce 6100 South: nForce 410
Western Digital 320 GB 7200 RPM PATA Hard Drive
A more recent Western Digital (I think)160 gb SATA HDD
4gb pc 400 SDRAM
XFX Geforce 7900GS
16X Double-Layer Multi-Format DVD/R/RW/CD-R/W Drive900GS
AMD Athlon™ 64 4200+ Processor
Logitech G15 keyboard
Logitech G5 mouse

Not really sure if it's relevant now, but I had almost an entire month go by without the mouse shutting off so I'm not getting my hopes up just yet.

[Chem. Imbalance (moonlightpastel-deactivatedaccount)]

That's what I would do. Remove the tuner for say, a week, and see what happens.

Good luck.

[Jacob Harrison (fictional-truth)]

Didn't work for me, completely removed the TV tuner and still having the issue, I switched the printer and mouse when I plugged them back in without realizing it, and only figured out I was still having the issue today when I was doing some printing. I can deal with it being the printer, I'd rather not have to restart the computer every 30 pages I print, but at least I can still click things.

I'm going to try swapping the sata plugs and if still happens, I think I'm going to decide that I can't have anything that works the way it's supposed to, rip the drive out, find a usb enclosure, and reinstall Ubuntu on the old drive.

[Aleksis (aleksis-doma)]

For those desperate for a viable workaround while the problem persists, I recommend trying the following as it works for me.

# sudo modprobe -r usbmouse && sudo modprobe -i usbmouse

That works for my mouse — it can then be plugged into any usb port and will work, this workaround isn't almighty though since my usb storage works in neither of the ports. So I fix it in the same fashion:

# sudo modprobe -r usb-storage && sudo modprobe -i usb-storage

I get the module names by asking modprobe (modprobe -l usb*).
Don't know what would work for other devices or if there's a way to reset all usb stuff at once.
Also, creating a custom command for these lines is sweet.

I have similiar problems with ubuntu 9.10 and my Shuttle Barebone SN78SH7 and the integrated nvidia GeForce 8200 graphic card: sometimes the usb bus hangs up so mouse and keybord doesn't respond any longer. When disconnecting it from usb bus, there seems to be no power on the bus (optical mouse is dark).

Another great problem with it: sometimes the system hangs up completeley: the screen changes in a text mode and it is full of colored blocks.
When rebooting it, the shuttle start screen and grub is displayed properly. When changing in graphics mode again, the colored screen is displayed again and the system hangs. After cut it from power for about 30 secondes everything works fine again.

It seems to be a problem when the system is working with a high workload (e.g. virtual box is running and several other tasks).

Nvidia has the same interrupt as usb2, but in the usb2 port there is no device connected. How do I change the interrupts?

Here is my interrupt list and a lsusb:

I have had the same problems sometimes with the messed up screen after
booting. It stopped after I updated my nVidia drivers from their page [
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us].
Right now I'm using this beta driver:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_195.22.html.
I've had no more messed up screens since.

As for the interrupts problem, that is strange. It looks like there aren't
any conflicts. I don't know much about changing interrupts, but I know that
some BIOSes let you change them manually.

Sorry if I couldn't be of much help.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
CD

Hi Chem.,

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 350065

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.

Hi,

It is no longer an issue as of Jaunty as far as I can tell.
