A few questions for you: What version of Ubuntu are you running - can you tell us your flavour (Ubuntu/KUbuntu/XUbuntu) and version (6.06-Dapper/6.10-Edgy)? Also have you recently performed an update before this happened? What is your setup in terms of processor, motherboard etc? What kind of USB devices have you tried? Thanks.
