The issue didn't start happening after an upgrade; in fact it happens when I newly installed the system. I thought a few kernel updates will heal itself, but it didn't so I decided to report.
Ok, I will test the upstream kernel using linux- image-3.19.0-031900rc6-generic_3.19.0-031900rc6.201501261152_amd64.deb, however i have quite a few modules like nvidia and virtualbox which are claimed to be "proprietary" or out-of-tree modules by the KernelMainlineBuilds page... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1416238 Title: USB randomly stops working on Kubuntu 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1416238/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
