Bug Description

Ive got a AsRock K7NF2-RAID mobo.
My mouse *Logitec MX500* and keyboard *Appleeee USB Keyboard* are hooooocked up to a Aten USB KVM switch which is then connnencted to my mobo. in 6.06 TTTThis setup was flawlllllless. But since 6.10 and also in FF 7.beta5 i geeeet this messsssage in theeee log over and over and over again>

jjabba (karl-jjabba) wrote : New error table

Hi everybody,
Since this issue has gotten some attention lately I've conducted a few more tests. It seems that my first test was erroneous as the keyboard and mouse works if plugged directly into the computer, but only if the KVM is not plugged in.

This is the "fault-table" I came up with (the cpu was cold started for each configuration):

Working | Configuration
-------------------------------------------------------
 Yes | M&K directly
 No | M&K directly and KVM to another USB port
 Yes | M&K directly and an USB 2.0 hub
 Yes | M&K in USB 2.0 hub
 No | M&K in USB 2.0 hub and KVM to another USB port
-------------------------------------------------------

My KVM is reported to be a USB 1.0 device, which might be the underlaying cause. It's a shame I don't have a USB 1.0 hub to back this up.

I can confirm the same problem with another KVM, Iogear DVI Model GCS1764 W6 using Ubuntu 7.04.

Maybe the problem is related to nForce chip set?
I can confirm jjabba's fault-table with abit nf8 mobo, Iogear GCS632U KVM and Ubuntu 7.10. The same KVM and Ubuntu version works perfectly with GA-7VAXP mobo, which uses VIA chip set.

Hi everyone.

@zou: so far, I didn't get much time to investigate further and my Ubuntu box is pretty much a brick to me lately. I can't even turn it on to access through the network as this mess up all the boxes attached to the kvm.

Anyway I think this bug may be a resurgence in recent kernels of a much older one (at least the original cause of both bugs could be the same):
http://<email address hidden>/msg02941.html

To anyone concerned, the most immediate workaround should be to deactivate any USB keyboard driver in the kernel and then let the BIOS do its best to emulate the keyboard.

But as I said, I didn't get to try or investigate any of the two suggestions.

@zou: did you check if you got the same modules loaded in both cases? You could be using BIOS emulation with the GA-7VAXP.

Is this the same as bug 124406? Here's what I just posted in that report:

I have the stuck keys problem as well. Every time it happens, I get a syslog message like this:

  usb 2-1: reset low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3

The usb device in question is my Logitech MouseMan Wheel, model number B-BD53. I have never seen this happen when I plug it in using its usb to ps2 adapter, only when I plug directly into one of my computer's usb ports.

I first noticed the problem while typing in a terminal window and running a virtual machine in the background. However, it definitely happens even while my computer is idle. (The log entries below were written during idle time.)

"carlosbrolotobar" on ubuntuforums.org has the same problem, also correlated with usb device reset messages:

@forest: As much as I would love to see that bug receive some attention at last, I don't think it is related to bug 124406. I might be wrong but this one seems to be pretty much narrowed to some KVM switches.

Only workaround so far for me was to recompile a kernel without USB HID support (if I remember right): in recent kernels, there seem to be no means to prevent those modules auto loading...

I noticed this bug now. I have been running Ubuntu 7.04 few days now and there hasn''t been any problems this far - they appeared today.

1) I am running Skype

2) I am having download background

3) Few flash animation running

25% - 30% CPU load.

Now and then there is a spike in the CPU usage and if you are typing right then, the key will be stuck. So this is related to CPU usage somehow. The bug is either causing the CPU spike (USB redetection maxes the CPU) or USB device gets disconnected because of it.

If you say so Anton, but the title of this bug includes the USB device reset message, its description includes the repeating keys problem, and both those things occur on my system with no KVM. The problem goes away when I remove my mouse from the USB port.

I would like to reactivate this bug and make it a higher priority. Not only it's affecting me on Kubuntu 9.04 64bits but:
- there are numerous reports of this issue on the net (just look on google for ubuntu bouncing or repeating key),
- it's a long standing issue (this bug is 2 years old, reported on 6.10, and I have it on kubuntu 9.04 64bits)
- the loss of keyboard and mouse is a serious showstopper for anyone trying linux especially when it happens during install
That bug already kept me away from migrating to Kubuntu a while ago (and on a different machine btw).
I don't have a KVM switch but my Logitech wireless mouse is connected on a usb hub on which I also have my keyboard, so I guess my setup is similar to a KVM. I noticed the problem went away when unplugging the mouse and connecting it directly, and that's what I had to do in order to install Kubuntu 9.04 64bit on my Asus U6S laptop. Next I'll try to have them both on 2 separate hubs, and see if it only happens when kb+mouse are on the same hub.

I'm not sure what the status of this bug is but I hope I'll get some support, I really would like to get going with this and no longer have to boot xp...
I'll reboot on kubuntu now and get these output for you:
dmesg
lspci -vv
lspci -vvn

Ok I've been trying several things and here is what I can say:
- this problem is not related to keyboard and mouse connected to the same external usb hub, since I had it with the mouse only
- this problem happens only on one of my hub: D-link DUB-H7 ports USB 2 hub. I've got another 4 port hub and it does not happen on it
- I've found many other related bus/posts, the most interesting are:
  - https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124406 : most likely a duplicate, very active since jaunty!
  - http://<email address hidden>/msg18199.html : interesting message from an old active thread
So since the first of these links goes to an active and mostly duplicate bug report, I'm switching to that one from now on.
In any case I attach my outputs here too.

I have this issue since upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 from 9.04

The device causing it is a Rockey HID dongle. The effect on the server is that MYSQL queries / apache hits take a long time to respond during the USB reset phase.
