It behaves the same with the latest kernel. However, it's most likely a hardware error.
I bought a new mouse - the samel model and it works fine while the old one still randomly disconnects. I also found an explanation for the error: > "most probably it’s a result of hardware failure rather than a driver or kernel bug. USB has an over-current protection, which gets triggered when power consumption from the port is too high." https://paulphilippov.com/articles/how-to-fix-device-not-accepting-address-error http://askubuntu.com/questions/341241/ubuntu-wont-start-with-device-descriptor-read-64-error-32-what-this-messag https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=5423.0 I noticed that one workaround is to connect the mouse via a USB hub - in that case the mouse reconnects immediately so it's unresponsive only for one or two seconds. This is probably not good for the hardware, I do not recommend this solution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1442549 Title: Mouse randomly stops working Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I'm getting: $ dmesg | tail [14462.953440] hid-generic 0003:046D:C068.0006: can't reset device, 0000:00:1a.0-1.1/input1, status -32 [14463.026461] hid-generic 0003:046D:C068.0005: can't reset device, 0000:00:1a.0-1.1/input0, status -32 [14463.185343] hid-generic 0003:046D:C068.0006: can't reset device, 0000:00:1a.0-1.1/input1, status -32 [14463.258490] hid-generic 0003:046D:C068.0005: can't reset device, 0000:00:1a.0-1.1/input0, status -32 [14463.417513] hid-generic 0003:046D:C068.0006: can't reset device, 0000:00:1a.0-1.1/input1, status -32 [14463.490441] hid-generic 0003:046D:C068.0005: can't reset device, 0000:00:1a.0-1.1/input0, status -32 [14463.841907] hid-generic 0003:046D:C068.0006: can't reset device, 0000:00:1a.0-1.1/input1, status -32 [14463.909385] hid-generic 0003:046D:C068.0005: can't reset device, 0000:00:1a.0-1.1/input0, status -32 from my Logitech G500 mouse.
