Bug? USB Keyboard and Mouse Stop Working


Sometimes I'll accidentally knock my USB keyboard or Mouse out of their respective ports. Usually this doesn't cause a problem if I plug them back in, but sometimes, plugging them back in will disable them altogether.

I think this is a bug because I double checked my system logs, and it seems that the USB daemon will sometimes assign them a different address then the one it originally had -- but not all the time. This is why, I assume, things stop working.

Before I report this as a bug, I was wondering if anyone has had previous experience with this, or knows how to fix it. My logs are below:

Mar 8 13:17:03 syr-24-58-10-27 kernel: usb.c: USB disconnect on device 00:07.3-2 address 3

Thanks in advance,

Dan

You are not alone

I think there is a problem in mkd10 because more people have a simelar problem, my usb mouse is also dead since I installed mkd10.

I know this messeage doesn´t help you but, It makes bad promotion and that helps to get faster a update or patch.

I have come to the conclusion that there is something wrong with the way the keyboard and/or mouse are set up. I have the same exact problems on Windows if I don't install the Logitech specific drivers. I really want to know why I can't just buy a USB keyboard and just a keyboard
