Public bug reported: This originally happened with my USB mouse, but somehow it doesn't happen anymore, but the exact same thing still happens when I plug in a Plantronics USB headset.
When I plug in the USB headset everything quits out and I'm left with a black screen that lists a few things about setting IRQ priorities, but most importantly it states "Stopping System V Runlevel compatibilit[OK]" Once I remove the device it lists a bunch of identical error messages about generic-usb, with the hardware address, and states that it can't reset the device. If I try to boot with the USB headset plugged in I see the boot splash image, then it kicks me back to TTY1. In all cases I'm able to restart XFCE with "sudo service lightdm restart" but everything I was running at the time of the crash has been closed. There are no logs in /var/crash, and .xsession-errors doesn't list anything new after the crash, and dmesg has no new output during the crash. The only trace that anything has crashed was found in /var/log/syslog, which I've pasted here: http://pastebin.com/cNTrYBG1 A little background, I recently wiped 10.04 from my Toshiba Satellite A205 to install 12.04, the USB headset was working well before the upgrade. The LiveDVD will not run with the headset plugged in either. After the crash I am able to switch to TTY1 and run lsusb and see that Plantronics IS listed there. Help troubleshooting this problem would be appreciated as I'm out of ideas. I tried asking the question on AskUbuntu at Stack Exchange, but was referred to Launchpad: http://askubuntu.com/questions/124042/plugging-in-usb-mouse-or-usb- headset-crashes-xserver-in-fresh-install-of-12-04 I'm not entirely convinced this is a bug since I'm unable to find anybody else having similar symptoms. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bot-comment -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1005063 Title: USB headset crashes X To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1005063/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
