Thanks for your bug report. Could you please add the output of 'lsusb' and 'dmesg' to your bug report? Additionally is your mouse directly connected or do you use a USB hub? Thanks in advance.

[Luis Araujo (luisaraujor)]

The mouse is directly connected to my laptop.

My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 510m.

I have the same issue with my laptop. I have a Microsoft wireless optical desktop keyboard and mouse, only using the mouse. Plugged in via USB it worked fine when Feisty was first installed, now it won't work at all since some updates about 3 days ago. Works fine in Windows on the same laptop.

[LukeKendall (luke-zeta)]

The same applies to Edgy. Each day when I return to the computer, the cursor is missing from the display, the mouse has stopped working, and I have to unplug it and replug it for it to be redetected.

Here is some dmesg output, presumably showing the results of me unplugging and replugging a day apart:

The PC is a mini tower system. The USB mouse is plugged straight into a built-in USB port.

I just noticed this comment on
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20061101081125696

"I had the problem of "dead" USB mouse particularly with thin cables and dual CRT monitor setups (Mac, Windows or Linux), and I have this problem still occasionally on any OS (Mac, Windows or Linux).

"It does not occur on the PS2 connection for some PC mice, and it rarely - but also - happens on USB keyboard connections.

"The only OS where I know a real fix - that can be applied in software, on the fly, and right there - is Ubuntu Linux running on my laptop (ASUS A6T). Since it may be possible to apply a similar fix to Mac OS X, I thought it could be interesting in this context. Typically, my external keyboard and the external mouse stop working after a few minutes on my PC running Ubuntu.

"However, this is recognized as a software problem, and the solution is a software solution. The commands are as follows and have to be issued as root:

modprobe -r ohci_hcd

modprobe ohci_hcd no_handshake=1

"After keying in these two commands, the USB immediately turns back on, and it remains unfreezed until the end of that session (until the machine is turned off)."

I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but I'll give it a go. I assume this would be similar to forcing a redetect by physically un/re-plugging the mouse?

Really strange, mine will just randomly work sometimes after booting, then other times it won't. If it's not working on boot theres nothing I can do to get it to work and I just have to wait for the next random occurence when it will work again. I'll try this modprobing though.

[Martin Ammermüller (martin-ammermueller)]

I have a similar issue here. USB mouse (MS Notebook Optical Mouse) stops working after a while (less than a minute after starting to use it, typically). Unplugging and reconnecting doesn't change anything (Mouse still doesn't work).

When i boot with kernel options "noapic acpi=off" this doesn't happen.

Trying to remove kernel module ohci_hcd with "modprobe -r ohci_hcd" doesn't work (hangs).

[photek (jccelaya)]

i have same problem, i have noticed that the buttons do work sometimes even if pointer doesn't respond to movement. using feisty with all upgrades.

[photek (jccelaya)]

It still happens for me on 2.6.20-15-27, sometimes it works, sometimes i have to unplug it and plug it in again in the same port, and then it works without problem.

[photek (jccelaya)]

Here is my lsusb, mouse it's directly connected to the usb of the motherboard, an ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe:

[Mike (avramti)]

Same problem here. It seems that if I switch to ExplorerPS/2 it won't freeze anymore.

[Mike (avramti)]

I think a temporary solution would be to install autofs from synaptics.

[coffeemug (coffeemug)]

I have a similar problem, except unplugging and pluggin the mouse back in doesn't work. I observed this problem in Edgy and in Fesity with a single difference. In Edgy I was able to run the following script to restore mouse functionality:

#!/bin/bash
rmmod ohci_hcd
modprobe ohci_hcd

In Feisty running this leaves the mouse frozen and additionally freezes the keyboard.

Here's my lsusb output:

[tomfin (tomfin)]

I've got similar problems here and I've noticed some interesting quirks - the buttons and scroll wheel on the USB mouse seem to function, though the cursor isn't moving...

PS/2 Microsoft 2-button mouse and a Genius USB Powerscroll (not optical) mouse have both been connected since a fresh Ubuntu Feisty install earlier today. During install, I tried a few USB mice (all Genius Powerscoll) - one would move vertically, with slight horizontal movement only when wiggling the mouse around randomly. Another mouse gave horizontal movement only, with slight vertical movement when wiggling. I tried these mice with another PC running WinXP - they work fine there - but I've no other Linux systems here to test with.

Things are the same after install and reboot, though I noticed the mouse stopped moving altogether at one point. Strangely, I can use the scollwheel and click the two buttons on the USB mouse, though only the PS/2 mouse can move the pointer.

Is something up with the way the X and Y movements are being fed or read through the USB, perhaps?

[Dianne Reuby (pramclub)]

I'm running Feisty, not on a laptop. I've had intermittent PS2 mouse problems, it throws itself round the screen opening random windows, so yesterday I swapped to a USB mouse, and that seemed OK.

When I booted this morning, I couldn't log in - the cursor was flashing in the username box, but nothing happened when I typed, F10 didn't do anything. I rebooted, and got the same, but with no mouse either. Tried XP, forgot until I was half way through loading that the keyboard was OK up until the GUI loaded, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to choose an OS!

Put my old PS2 mouse on, went back to Feisty, and during boot got "Superblock last mount time is in the future. FIXED", then "FSCK died Exit Status 1". However the keyboard let me log in.

Rebooting when I haven't used a USB mouse gives no errors. Rebooting after I've had (any) USB mouse gives those problems - Superblock fixed, FSCK died, can't log in. I'm using a USB hub.

[jonie (jonie)]

I can confirm that similar bug appears also in Edgy. It happens say, once in about ten boots, the USB mouse is not re-enabled during USB controller initialization. USB hub in question remains powered down until next boot. USB ports on other hubs/controllers continue to function. What might give a hint is that the same mouse connected to a controller that is limited to 1.1 speed functions correctly. The error is also independent on mouse type / brand, it will do that the mouse operates at 2.0 speed.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

jonie - Edgy uses the 2.6.17 kernel while this bug is about the 2.6.20 kernel. Please submit a bug report about linux-source-2.6.17.

[David Meier (droebbel-melta)]

I can confirm such a problem: USB mouse freezes randomly. No hint in dmesg at that time. After unplugging, the following appears:

After plugging the mouse back in, it still does not work. Any new usb devices will be ignored. USB seems kind of inaccessible, though other existing devices (keyboard etc) still work. lsusb command hangs silently.

I am going to try unloading ohci-hcd when the problem appears next. Boot options also remain to be tested.

The kernel ist custom built based on ubuntus linux-source-2.6.20-16.29. The only change I made was to activate verbose usb debugging messages.

This is what lsusb showed before unplugging the mouse:

[David Meier (droebbel-melta)]

"acpi=force irqpoll" does not help.

Unloading ohci_hcd seems to work (at least my keyboard does not respond any more), but reloading it seems to fail.
I used the following commands in a script:

modprobe -r ohci_hcd
modprobe ohci_hcd
modprobe usbhid

[coffeemug (coffeemug)]

Note that unloading and loading back ohci_hcd worked in Edgy but
stopped working in Feisty.

[toutatis (bijbelenos)]

Got the same problem on a Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 with Feisty. I'll try Davids solution when it occurs again.
This bug looks related to bug #43305.

[Famine (avtguy)]

This is still an issue on a fresh Feisty AMD 64 install under KDE running the 2.6.20-16 kernel. I have swapped to a PS2 mouse, and that seems to have fixed the problem. I can confirm that:

After some period of time (minutes to hours) a logitech USB mouse stops working. (Light out)
Replugging does not fix the problem, nor can another mouse be added. All USB ports are dead. This includes both front and back ports.

System responds normally to keyboard commands, and retains responsiveness.

System hangs on reboot.

With multiple USB mice (one front one back) one will freeze up, then some time later the second will freeze as the rest of the USB ports die.

Removing the USB mouse before boot seems to fix the problem.

[mister_lake (michael-lake)]

I'm also getting the same problem when I didn't used to in edgy.

I've got a normal mouse plugged in as well as an IBM USB keyboard with ultranav(trackpoint and touchpad).

the regular mouse always works.

the touchpad always works.

the trackpoint (the one I care about the most) will stop working after some period of inactivity(usually within minutes).

at that point I have to issue:

sudo rmmod uhci_hcd
sudo modprobe uhci_hcd

-it seems like the more I enter those commands, the shorter time my trackpoint has to live.

[curVV (curvv)]

Same problem here.. I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 on Toshiba Satellite notebook. Any word on a fix yet? It's been 5 months since the first post regarding this bug. Really annoying...

[Christophe Drevet (christophe-drevet)]

I had the same problem on :
MainBoard ASUSTeK P5N-E
Logitech MX900

In the BIOS settings, i tried to deactivate ths USB mouse and keyboard support and it seems to solve the problem.
No problem since a whole week (it was several times a day before).

Still praying...

draKe.

[curVV (curvv)]

I also tried that and disabled usb legacy devices as well, no joy...

[mister_lake (michael-lake)]

it seems that if I do use my trackpoint all the time, it will keep working. if I stop using it for little more than a few minutes it falls into a grey area where if I try to move it, initially it won't move the cursor, but give it another second or two and it becomes "unstuck".

when this occurs, I get the following in dmesg: (one line means one attempt to move the cursor, but it was "held up" for a second or so)

[ 478.072643] usb 5-2.4: reset low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5
[ 478.660006] usb 5-2.4: reset low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5

[ 1106.892246] usb 5-2.4: reset low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5

 but sometimes the cursor really is frozen and doesn't want to move with the trackpoint. on those occasions the dmesg has no log

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducable with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Gutsy Gibbon. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the actively developed kernel. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

Brian,

I'd like to help. I'll set up a test environment on my machine in the
near future. I'd rather submit a patch than a bug report but kernel
hacking is not my home turf. This seems like a good opportunity to
jump in so I'll give it a try.

I can confirm that this is still a problem w/ the live environment of the Tribe 5 release of Gutsy Gibbon.

[photek (jccelaya)]

Well, i'm using ubuntu feisty with kernel from ubuntu gutsy gibbon, 2.6.22-9, and the bug is still there. I can say i don't have to plug it in another usb tho, unplugging and plugging again on the same has always worked.

More important, this bug didn't exist in ubuntu edgy and dapper.

Regards,

[dixonstalbert (dixonjnk)]

I started experiencing random usb mouse being reset since fresh install feisty 2 weeks ago. 2.6.20-16-generic kernel

from kern.log while using firefox and computer having been on for 4 hours
Sep 3 08:02:54 athlon kernel: [21749.220877] usb 4-1.3: reset low speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
Sep 3 08:02:54 athlon kernel: [21749.480658] usb 4-1.3: device descriptor read/64, error -32

The resets occur only once every few hours and my mouse works again if I unplug/ replug it in.

The only thing in the system logs that occurs just before the freeze ups -sometimes- is cron trying to run ubuntuzilla.py. I uninstalled ubuntuzilla but I guess I will have to manually delete cronjob.

Can anyone else relate freeze ups to Ubuntuzilla or Cron?

I do have exotic USB hardware- a hauupauge usbtv and a micosoft wireless usb plugged into a belkin hub, but ran same hardware with Dapper for one year without a problem. I tried eliminating the hub and plugging mouse and usbtv directly into motherboard usb ports. Resets occurred much less frequently, but it was a real nuisance to climb under my desk and unplug/re-plug usb mouse from back of cpu, so i started using hub again.

I have attached text file of lsusb, kern.log dmesg , debug of lines relating to last freezing.

[Jeremy Foshee (jeremyfoshee)]

Hi Luis,

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 84762

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.

[Will (justapit)]

I've had problems with intermittent loss of input and power to a Logitech USB mouse with Ubuntu 9.10. I tried possible solutions suggested here and some elsewhere without joy. I finally tried to reduce electrical interference sheerly as a last resort because I thought this would be the least likely problem. Simply moving my mouse cord away from my CRT monitor and placing aluminum foil between my mouse cord and monitor provided a solution to this annoying problem. The problem has been resolved for 1 week now, no other solution suggestions helped. To verify, I duplicated my previous setup and the problem returned.

I first undid all the other changes I had applied and verified the problem still existed. No updates or other software/hardware changes occured between my solution and problem verification. I first started noticing the problem when I changed a CRT monitor location (but did not realize the connection at first, all hindsight), the mouse cord had been placed behind and around the back of the CRT monitor.

I'm not sure this will solve everyone's problem, there's a lot of potential EMI sources, but certainly worth some further testing.

[lskbr (nilo-menezes)]

Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 (clean install) and this bug still there.

Mouse works fine, but stops later at random time.

I tried to plug another USB mouse after the failure and it starts working right away on X.
Few minutes later, the second USB mouse is dead too. Plugging and unplugging previously connected mice did not solve the problem (even on different ports). I need a new mouse plugged in to have it working. It looks this problem causes a registered device to stop working, but USB/X subsystems continue to work fine.

This bug seems to be closely related to CPU scaling/energy saving issues. I saw it happens more often when I can hear an increase on my CPU fan speed. It looks like I got this bug when I have cpu scaling + mouse movement at the same time.

I'm waiting a new PCI-USB card to test with it. I will report as soon as I receive it.
My kids want to know why linux freezes when XP runs fine (I have both installed on the same machine) :-(

[lskbr (nilo-menezes)]

Hi, I just installed the new VIA USB-PCI card (7€ solution at Amazon).
I'm using the same pc, same mouse, etc. Just added the new USB-PCI and plugged my mouse on it.
So far so good. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.
