USB ports not recognized after installing from PureOS 8.0 Live
Open, NormalPublic

Description

Installed from Live 8.0 and did apt-get update/upgrade. USB ports not recognized. Logged out but could not log back in (Screen would blink black and come back to login). Did Restart and still not recognized. Did apt-get update/dist-upgrade and everything worked. (Reinstalled twice and duplicated it both times.)

Installed on L15 V3.

Omar, can you do a

sudo dmesg -w

then plug in a USB cable connected to a device known to work and put any error messages here?

I will have to do a reinstall on my work system which I can do. I will try it on the L13 I have first to see if duplicate-able. I can't remember if I did dist-upgrade because apt-get upgrade didn't work.

Well, before you do, issuing the command to show the kernel ring buffer might help us. Can you test with a USB device?

So it appears to be that one port on your USB hub -- can you power down and up that device or swap out the cable? That may be one way to test.

Also, when you do that cable swapping, please open a terminal and issue this command;

sudo dmesg -w

This will print the kernel ring buffer and USB devices get reported there, so if you leave the terminal running while you do your testing you should see some info there.
