Public bug reported: After applying upgrades to my 14.04 installations and rebooting, suddenly the sony sixaxis usb joystick/controller input device which I use a lot will now no longer appear as a joystick device. It happens on at least two machines with the newest 14.04 updates as of a couple of days ago. See below for kernel messages.
I believe the actual kernel error message for this bug is: "Jun 5 11:36:51 machine kernel: [47062.524566] sony 0003:054C:0268.000E: can't set operational mode" After looking at the kernel sources I believe this is a problem with the hid_sony kernel module. The changelog for linux-image- extra-3.13.0-27-generic, which contains this module, has many hid related changes. The same bug/regression, it appears, was reported on askubuntu.com some days ago, see this link: http://askubuntu.com/questions/474199/my-ps3-controller-stopped- working-2-days-ago Version information: $ lsb_release -d Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS $ uname -a Linux valley 3.13.0-27-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 15 18:06:16 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # dpkg -S /lib/modules/3.13.0-27-generic/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-sony.ko linux-image-extra-3.13.0-27-generic: /lib/modules/3.13.0-27-generic/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-sony.ko dmesg: Jun 5 11:36:50 machine kernel: [47062.360175] usb 2-1.1.3.1: new full-speed USB device number 19 using ehci-pci Jun 5 11:36:51 machine kernel: [47062.486789] usb 2-1.1.3.1: New USB device found, idVendor=054c, idProduct=0268 Jun 5 11:36:51 machine kernel: [47062.486797] usb 2-1.1.3.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 Jun 5 11:36:51 machine kernel: [47062.486802] usb 2-1.1.3.1: Product: PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller Jun 5 11:36:51 machine kernel: [47062.486806] usb 2-1.1.3.1: Manufacturer: Sony Jun 5 11:36:51 machine kernel: [47062.498624] sony 0003:054C:0268.000E: Fixing up Sony Sixaxis report descriptor Jun 5 11:36:51 machine kernel: [47062.524383] input: Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.1/2-1.1.3/2-1.1.3.1/2-1.1.3.1:1.0/input/input22 Jun 5 11:36:51 machine kernel: [47062.524563] sony 0003:054C:0268.000E: input,hiddev0,hidraw4: USB HID v1.11 Joystick [Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.1.3.1/input0 Jun 5 11:36:51 machine kernel: [47062.524566] sony 0003:054C:0268.000E: can't set operational mode Jun 5 11:36:51 machine kernel: [47062.556374] sony: probe of 0003:054C:0268.000E failed with error -38 Jun 5 11:36:51 machine mtp-probe: checking bus 2, device 19: "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.1/2-1.1.3/2-1.1.3.1" Jun 5 11:36:51 machine mtp-probe: bus: 2, device: 19 was not an MTP device ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete ** Tags: trusty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1326725 Title: PS3 Sixaxis controller/joystick usb stopped working, regression in linux-image-extra-3.13.0-27-generic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1326725/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
