046d:c52b Cannot use logitech mouse M324 (Unifying Receiver)

[Nico Gevers]

I'm using an Asus N56VM notebook with Ubuntu 12.04 and have tried to attach my wireless mouse. All ports are usb 3.0. The mouse has connected once or twice, but i haven't been able to get ubuntu to recognise it at all today. Incidentally it does work on my mac-mini also running ubuntu 12.04.

Here's the lsusb output:

and a snippet from syslog when I disconnect the dongle then re-insert it:

I just linked an upstream kernel bug about the same exact receiver not working in a USB 3.0 port, but it does work in a USB 2.0 port. This looks like the same exact issue that you're having.

[Edward Donovan (edward.donovan)]

Hey, Logan, thanks! It's great to know it's already reported upstream, and it's great to have a workaround, with USB 2.0 ports.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Nico Gevers, 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? If so, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the kernel in the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested and remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

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 text:
needs-upstream-testing

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested.

Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.

[Rainer Rohde (rainer-rohde)]

I have the same issue. Had it on my Dell XPS 15z and now on my Asus G75. It seems that if I unplug/plugin the unified receiver multiple times, it will connect eventually. Of course, this is not how it's supposed to work, but functions as a workaround for now...

[Rainer Rohde (rainer-rohde)]

Oh, forgot to mention that I never had that issue on my MacBook Pro, which only had USB2 ports...

[robert.vertesi (vertesi)]

I have a similar problem with somewhat different hardware. I use a Lenovo u300s and a Logitech M310 set.
When the receiver is plugged in the USB3 port the keyboard works fine but the mouse does not.
You can see it detected when you list xinput however.
In the USB2 port they both work fine.

[Rainer Rohde (rainer-rohde)]

I noticed that this morning when I booted up into Quantal I had to keep plugging in the receiver eight (8!) times before the mouse was recognized.

After a subsequent reboot, I only had to do it twice...

[Rainer Rohde (rainer-rohde)]

So, after a while of experiencing this bug with Quantal alpha 3, I can say that I have to unplug and insert the Logitech unifying receiver every time I reboot the laptop:

                          THREE (3) to FOURTEEN (14) times before the mouse pointer can be moved.

This is really, really annoying.

Is there anything that can be done to help troubleshoot this? Dmesg always finds the device, but it takes a lot of unplugging and inserting before it finally works.

[Rainer Rohde (rainer-rohde)]

Beta 1. This issue still persists.

This morning I had to unplug the unified receiver 37 (!) times before my Logitech Trackman was recognized. This is REALLY getting old now.

When can we expect a fix?

[Andreas Raster (rakete)]

Having the same problem in 12.04 here. Plugging and Unplugging the receiver multiple times does eventually fix the problem, although I had to do it very often.

[Rainer Rohde (rainer-rohde)]

@Andreas:

Have a look here (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1039143), I experience the same issue. I just found out that this issues DOES NOT exist in 10.04, so this is definitely a kernel regression.

[Robert John Bowles (bobjohnbowles)]

I have encountered the same issue with a Logitech unifying receiver, with K350 keyboard and M505 mouse.

I set up the receiver on a Windows machine with no problem, but when I tried to use it with a new Dell Inspiron (USB3, Ubuntu 12.04) I could not get the mouse or the keyboard to work at all until I used the workaround posted by Rainer (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1039143). Even so, I still need to unplug and re-plug the receiver on reboot.

I also found the same keyboard and mouse (and receiver) would not work with a very old laptop running Ubuntu 12.04, with only USB1 hardware, but that may be a limitation of the hardware.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Rainer Rohde / robert.vertesi / Andreas Raster / Robert John Bowles, if you have a bug in Ubuntu, could you please file a new report by executing the following in a terminal:
ubuntu-bug linux

For more on this, please see the Ubuntu Bug Control and Ubuntu Bug Squad article:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/BestPractices#X.2BAC8-Reporting.Focus_on_One_Issue

and Ubuntu Community article:

When opening up the new report, please feel free to subscribe me to it.

Please note, not filing a new report may cause your problem to not be addressed as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your understanding.

[Robert John Bowles (bobjohnbowles)]

I'm sorry Christopher, I am not sure I do understand. I don't think I have a 'new' bug to report, the common issue here is the failure of the Logitech unifying receiver. I just wanted to help by adding my own experience to this thread.

[Gavin Graham (gavingraham)]

I have the exact same hardware as the OP and the same symptoms. Is there any information I can submit to progress this bug report?

[Gavin Graham (gavingraham)]

I'm installaing 3.7.0-7.15 (https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa/+build/4065823) in an effort to solve another problem so I will let you know how this Kernel goes. It's the Kernel that is part of xorg-edgers.

Well there's no difference by using the xorg-edgers Kernel:

[Gavin Graham (gavingraham)]

Ok, I've now installed the Kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.7-raring/ and I am still getting the exact same error messages. The device will always work if I hotplug once booted.
