Hi
I stumbled over a behaviour when connecting a USB device which I couldn't find
any explanation for.
So, I'm trying here.
Why connecting a USB device (USB-TTL converter) direct and via an USB hub makes
a difference?
When I connect it directly all I see in /var/log/syslog are errors, when
connectedd via a USB-hub
it works as expected.
See logs below.
hp8300 is HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF (QV996AV), kernel: 4.15.0-50-generic
#54-Ubuntu
lshw reports:
*-usb:0

product: 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI Host
Controller
vendor: Intel Corporation
*-usb:1
description: USB controller
product: 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller
#2
vendor: Intel Corporation
BTW, it does work as expected on a Lenovo x220 (same OS).
Let me know if I should provide any more information.
Thanks in advance for any hint.
Regards,
Chris
