USB keyboard stopped working in Ubuntu with error -71
- by tapan
I have a usb keyboard which was working perfectly till now (about a year since i have been regularly using ubuntu). It suddenly stopped working. It stopped working when I connected a USB HDD. Now the keyboard works randomly .. working for a while and then stops working for a longer time. Here is the dmesg output :
[ 705.817076] usb 5-1: device not accepting address 8, error -71
[ 705.928032] usb 5-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 9

[ 707.456068] hub 5-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1
Based on the suggestions here i tried the following two things:
echo -1 > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/autosuspend
echo Y > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/old_scheme_first
However, i am still facing the same problem. Can anyone help me out with this ? I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.
