Bug Description
Binary package hint: hal
I'm not sure wether this is the right package, but I hope somebody will point me to the right direction if it is not.
When I connect my portable music player (a cmx stingray 888) to the USB port on the front panel of my pc, it works without any problem. When I connect it to my keyboard which has an USB hub included, nothing happens. So I looked into my syslog and found the following lines:
Mar 18 09:24:11 weintraube kernel: [ 215.220320] usb 2-2.2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 7
Mar 18 09:24:11 weintraube kernel: [ 215.322158] usb 2-2.2: not running at top speed; connect to a high speed hub
Mar 18 09:24:11 weintraube kernel: [ 215.344246] usb 2-2.2: rejected 1 configuration due to insufficient available bus power
Mar 18 09:24:11 weintraube kernel: [ 215.344252] usb 2-2.2: no configuration chosen from 1 choice
I think there should be a notification in this case, because a user new to ubuntu would expect the device to do something but instead gets no visible action. The message could be something like "the usb connector where you attached your device does not have enough power, try connecting on another one" (of course not by word - my english is not that good).
I agree.
It just happened to me when i was connecting my iPod to the USB port on the keyboard. I'm running Edgy on an iMac and i was just not getting any error whatsoever leaving me clueless about the problem.
Cheers!
