Hello Till and thank you for your attention, yes, I have rebooted; I am with Ubuntu for three years already and I am able to solve simple issues, but I'm stuck with this one.
Output of the commands above is: lsusb: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 009 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0b38:0101 Gear Head Bus 004 Device 004: ID 0b38:0003 Gear Head Bus 008 Device 002: ID 067b:2305 Prolific Technology, Inc.
