@Ben. I tried that (used nano, not vi - I couldn't understand vi!). After reboot, I tried Xsane and it warned that it couldn't find a scanner attached; so I tried lsusb and drew a blank - NO usb devices were detected (despite several being attached as well as the scanner).
@Oliver. Please can you be a bit more specific about what entry to create. Is it the same as that suggested by Ben "options usbcore autosuspend=0" and do I need to do anything else (like the sudo update- initramfs -u bit)? -- some usb_devices fault if usb_suspend enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/85488 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
