Thanks for your advice! I've posted a bug report upstream: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.usb.general/129790
I also checked out some older kernels. The problem is present since 3.18, while 3.17.x was OK. Or rather, had other, less dramatic problems on the machine. ** Tags added: kernel-bug-reported-upstream -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1485057 Title: "lsusb -v" as root freezes the kernel on Acer ES1-111 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1485057/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
