Public bug reported: When attaching my Apple IPod I get the following errors in /var/log/kern.log: Oct 2 13:00:52 hacki-mobile kernel: [17340341.100000] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 10 Oct 2 13:00:52 hacki-mobile kernel: [17340341.220000] usb 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 Oct 2 13:00:52 hacki-mobile kernel: [17340341.444000] usb 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 Oct 2 13:00:53 hacki-mobile kernel: [17340341.660000] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 11 Oct 2 13:00:53 hacki-mobile kernel: [17340341.780000] usb 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 Oct 2 13:00:53 hacki-mobile kernel: [17340342.004000] usb 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 Oct 2 13:00:53 hacki-mobile kernel: [17340342.220000] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 12 Oct 2 13:00:54 hacki-mobile kernel: [17340342.628000] usb 2-1: device not accepting address 12, error -71 Oct 2 13:00:54 hacki-mobile kernel: [17340342.740000] usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 13 Oct 2 13:00:54 hacki-mobile kernel: [17340343.148000] usb 2-1: device not accepting address 13, error -71
The problem can be solved this way: $ sudo su - $ echo Y > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/old_scheme_first Here is a related bug for redhat: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=145273 It was easy for me to fix the problem, but for the average user Joe, this would probably cause major headaches. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Attaching USB mass storage device fails with device descriptor read/64, error -71 https://launchpad.net/bugs/63556 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
