I haven't had that issue for a while, since kernel 4.20, I think, but I just had this issue again, on up to date 19.04 with kernel 5.0.0-13:

Firmware versions: Precision M5520 Thunderbolt Controller: 26.01 Dell Thunderbolt Dock: 16.00 Precision 5520 System Firmware: 0.1.13.0 This has happened a few times already - as I was writing up this report - and I worked around them by either power cycling the dock (pulling the power cable - the power button on the dock powers down the laptop), or running the XHCI reset script I'm pasting below. Regarding other workarounds - at no point did I boot to MS-Windows (or at least not in the last half a year). This is the XHCI reset script I'm using - it lists XHCI devices and runs the unbind-rebind process specified in the original bug report. The next step would be a SystemD service that monitors the kernel log for the "xHCI assume dead" line and triggers the rebind automatically :-/ ``` #!/bin/bash tbtid="$(ls /sys/bus/pci/drivers/xhci_hcd/ | grep '[0-9]')" echo "Resetting thunderbolt bus">&2 for id in $tbtid; do echo -n $id > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/xhci_hcd/unbind done sleep 1 for id in $tbtid; do echo -n $id > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/xhci_hcd/bind done echo "Done resetting thunderbolt bus">&2 ``` -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1766076 Title: USB over thunderbolt turns off every once in a while To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell-sputnik/+bug/1766076/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
