Hi, so, what did work is to use the patch supplied here on a self-compiled linux-3.11.
The patch from: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1210858/comments/32 The Sources build from the guide: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel With the checkout: git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-saucy.git And built with: fakeroot debian/rules clean fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic What DID NOT work was to install linux-3.12-rc7 from mainline ppa: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-rc7-saucy/ My understanding was that linux 3.12 includes the patch for this problem. This is obviously not the case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1210858 Title: [Sony VAIO SVT15117CXS] USB 2.0 ports not working with any USB device To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1210858/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
