I have this problem on two laptops: a HP 530 and a Compaq CQ61, when plugging in my Sansa Clip music player, and also several times with external hard drives. My usb memory stick works fine, so I suspect that it only affects powered devices, as mentioned above.
I've had the issue on the HP since Karmic -- Intrepid and Jaunty worked OK, so I consider this a regression on that machine. I wondered if it was just flaky USB hardware, but now I have a new Compaq and it suffers the same issue. I reinstalled Windows on the HP, and now the Sansa connects just fine, so it is definitely a problem with Linux. I've just attached the player to a few different ports on my Compaq, with subtly different results in the logs, so I'm attaching them here. ** Attachment added: "dmesg.out" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/54273/+attachment/1752576/+files/dmesg.out -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/54273 Title: USB device not accepting address: error -110 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
