Update: I've compiled the 4.13.19 kernel without USB 3 support (in the hope that it would fall back to the USB 2 module - it doesn't - you end up with no keyboard or trackpad). If you're running a system that has a BIOS, and it allows you to turn off USB 3.0 support, that seems to be the only option. Otherwise it appears that you're stuck with intermittent USB. It sucks that MacBooks don't have ethernet... I'm using a shared wifi AP even though I have a gigabit cable on my desk :(
There's a ton of USB 3.0 kernel bug tickets on launchpad, and in most cases they end up expiring due to lack of updates. This one will likely go the same way. If ANYONE with a MacBook has managed to get it to work without USB 3.0 in the kernel, post here or PM me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1668105 Title: xhci_hcd module turns off usb host controller on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/1668105/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
