This problem can be seen on any machine actually. I was seeing it earlier. The key is to NOT run "lsusb". This kicks off a fresh scan of the USB bus and then it's seen.
So to reproduce: 1) Connect USB hub to usb port 2) Connect any device to it .. in this case try a USB stick .. though it's for any * DO NOT RUN "lsusb" 3) Check dmesg and notice the device is not seen 4) Run "lsusb" and notice now your device is seen. Appears a problem only with this kernel. As reported it works fine with 8.10. Will try and narrow down the change that may fix this issue. -- Ubuntu 8.04.3 amd64 on Dell PE R610 : Front USB ports do not detect newly inserted USB device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/406419 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
