Problem identified with my motherrboard. For some time my USB hardware has been seemingly failing on my motherboard. This is a power related issue. I have my MS keyboard and mouse intellipoint plugged into a Hub with would normally not overload the 500ma limit.
The problem is the reliability of the USB ports and the amount of power that each port can provide to the devices connected on my semmingly faulty hardware. This is why the problem occurs now on both 8.04 and 8.10. This was solved by a PCI USB extention card and I no longer get any errors from my USB keyboard. Anyone else getting this error then watch the load you applying across the USB ports and be aware that they do not always provide the full 500ma, especially when you have a cheap AMD x2 motherboard fron Nvidia. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- Bug #173135: on 8.10 - USB Microsoft Ergo 4000 keyboard errors continues on 2.6.27-9-generic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307029 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
