The usb 2.0 ports are not working, but the USB 3.0 port does. They appear in lspci and lsusb, but devices connected to them do not work. For example, a flash drive w/ a LED on it lights up and mounts on the 3.0 port but doesn't even light up on the 2.0 ports. There are no messages in dmesg when something is plugged into the 2.0 port. This behavior is the same on ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04. --- ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: ubuntu 3244 F.... pulseaudio CasperVersion: 1.331 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64 (20130424) MachineType: Sony Corporation SVT15112CXS MarkForUpload: True Package: linux (not installed) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/casper/vmlinuz.efi file=/cdrom/preseed/username.seed boot=casper quiet splash -- ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-19.29-generic 3.8.8 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-3.8.0-19-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-3.8.0-19-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.106 Tags: raring Uname: Linux 3.8.0-19-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo dmi.bios.date: 03/13/2012 dmi.bios.vendor: Insyde Corp. dmi.bios.version: R1110D4 dmi.board.asset.tag: N/A dmi.board.name: VAIO dmi.board.vendor: Sony Corporation dmi.board.version: N/A dmi.chassis.asset.tag: N/A dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Sony Corporation dmi.chassis.version: N/A dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnInsydeCorp.:bvrR1110D4:bd03/13/2012:svnSonyCorporation:pnSVT15112CXS:pvrC904W34T:rvnSonyCorporation:rnVAIO:rvrN/A:cvnSonyCorporation:ct10:cvrN/A: dmi.product.name: SVT15112CXS dmi.product.version: C904W34T dmi.sys.vendor: Sony Corporation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1172908/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
