<SOLVED> USB Ports Not Working Correctly

[pfothergill]

Hey all, I have an issue with my USB ports. They are USB 3.0 and when I have something plugged into them while logging into my computer, the device will work (such as having a keyboard or mouse plugged in prior to logging into my profile). But if I try to plug them in once already signed in, they won't work at all. They don't even get recognized (I don't think and I don't know how to check???). I have to either sign out and sign back in or restart. Either option works without fail but it's bizarre because I can have, for example, my mouse dongle plugged in while I'm logged in, but if I were to take that dongle out and plug it back in after a couple seconds, I can't use my mouse again until I sign out and sign back in. Same with my keyboard. For whatever reason, it doesn't apply to my phone or a flash drive.

I will say that because I don't know what I'm doing and because I don't want to ruin my devices, I haven't really done much to fix this. I have restarted the cinnamon desktop (alt + F2) and that doesn't work. Only thing that works is restarting or logging out but I'll happily try to do whatever anyone suggests to me. Here's some possibly useful info and more can be provided by asking in the comments!

If you would like any other information just let me know. FYI I'm brand new to linux. I've been able to use Dr. Google for basically all my fixes so far but I cannot seem to figure out what to do for this one. I'm sure it's easy and I'm just a noob. Thanks!

open a terminal and do

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/syslog

Then unplug and plug in the keyboard, post output from terminal, do CTRL + c to stop the terminal from updating the syslog

Hey thanks for the reply! As soon as I posted this, I think I found my solution. Always works that way, doesn't it haha. So what I did was disable autosuspend in grub file.

First, I checked if autosuspend was enabled by opening a terminal and typing:

Code: Select all

cat /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend

If enabled, it will return a value of 2. And it did for me. So then I edited the grub file:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

and found the line that says: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

Code: Select all

# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:
#   info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash usbcore.autosuspend=-1 pci=noearly acpi_no_static_ssdt acpi_sleep=nonvs amd_immu=force_isolation"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

Notice the usbcore.autosuspend=-1. So, when you boot on the system, it tells it to turn autosuspend off. Anyways, hit ctrl + x to save. Type a y to confirm and I also had to press enter after typing the y to confirm the save location. Then run this code in your open terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo update-grub

and reboot. Once rebooted, I was able to unplug and plug back in my usb devices per normal.
