Comment (by Roc Yang):
That is the code for Protocol error (EPROTO). While there have been kernel
issues that occasionally caused this, from my experience, this is usually
a hardware issue with the USB subsystem.
The error message (which, incidentally, you didn't post) usually refers to
the USB port that caused the issue. A few pieces of advice:
Verify that the device is working properly on another computer.
Check whether the device is working correctly on another USB port.
Check your cables: 90% of such issues are caused by bad cables. Switching
for another cable could very well solve the issue.
Check your connectors: This is a common issue on old computers where
oxidization has settled on the USB port pins. You could try removing it by
inserting and removing the USB plug repeatedly. Warning: Don't overdo it -
USB connectors can and will break if you do.
I also doubt that GNOME has anything to do with the actual issue. It's far
more probable that installing a windowing system merely hides the error
message. It's probably still there in your dmesg output or the system
logs.
It would help if you mentioned which USB device (make and model) causes
this problem. Some devices are notorious for being rather unreliable...
