Re: [Trisquel-users] help request for usb hub failure

That is probably true. dmesg might report errors. I'm not entirely sure  
though what would appear vs if it was working properly. Though I could  
theorize on possible explanations. Could be a power issue for example. If the  
hub is unpowered (?) for instance there may be some limitation where a device  
could be drawing more power than the USB port will give. Or the combination  
of components draws too much power. A powered hub would solve that. So might  
a device that has multiple connectors if you connect it to two separate USB  
ports where the ports are not just a hub. Laptops for instance will have two  
US ports on a hub.  Connecting the cable on one port and then on a different  
port on the other side of the machine for instance would then solve the  
problem probably.
