Comment 691 for bug 88746

I came here because my mouse and keyboard become unusable (jumpy mouse, repeating keys) in various settings (tried 2 different hubs and different cables) and each time dmesg shows that keyboard and/or mouse get reset. Earlier in the thread keyboard and mouse were mentioned as well as resets so I thought it was a good place here.

Initially I reported my issue against ubuntu bug 124406 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/124406?comments=all). However this bug got closed because it was judged too messy. I felt this bug did not get the proper attention it deserved, so I came here because I thought the kernel team would be more able to deal with it. I entered comment #67 and also created another ubuntu bug entry (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/383722). There you'll find more info on what I experience along with relevant dmesg logs.

I understand your point except that in practice when a bug is difficult to track and reproduce it gets reported in many different ways, and there's not much we can do about that. I'm sorry to be so forthcoming but I'm tired of always seeing this bug getting dismissed in similar ways: can't reproduce, OP gone, confusion with other bugs... If we keep sticking to the rules of clean and reproducible bugs then we'll never become good at dealing with concurrency issues and parallel computing!

BTW: I can reproduce the bug and so does Rolf Leggewie (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/124406/comments/254).
