Hi Peter
I had a similar problem with my Fujitsu Siemens laptop. Try opening up Terminal and type in lsusb and then press enter. I do this for my usb ports to be recognised. Sometimes I have to do this 3 or 4 times before it sees my usb ports. I am running Ubuntu 9.10 and I still have to do this. I have no idea why this is so. Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes. ----- Original Message ------ From:komputes Sent:Wednesday, December 30, 2009 20:37 To:J Peter Graham jpg...@gmail.com; laptop-testing-team@lists.ubuntu.com; Subject:Re: Acer laptop J Peter Graham wrote: > Hi, > I'm new to Ubuntu and have installed Ultimate Edition 2.4 and cannot seem to > get any of my usb port to work.

Try Karmic (9.10) and if that doesn't work Jaunty (9.04) should I would recommend the official Ubuntu release: http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ http://releases.ubuntu.com/jaunty/ Let us know how it goes.
