    MY Ubuntu doesn't recognize the USB port

    I have Toshiba A505 and I installed Ubuntu 10.04, but the Ubuntu doesn't recognize the USB ports. What shall I do? When I plug in a USB mouse the light on the mouth use to light but the curser doesn't move. And I can't mount any flash.

    Hi and Welcome !

    Plug-in any Flash drive, open Terminal and execute this
    Code:
    tail -s 3 -f /var/log/messages
    Post output here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Go into the BIOS settings and see how the USB is configured. Some settings won't work with Linux. I do know that the A505 does work with Ubuntu - my wife has one with 10.04 running happily on it right now.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    I have set my POST DELAY in BIOS to 10 seconds so that the USB flash drives can charge-up (think that is right). Without that delay, my Flash Drives do not respond.
    Hope that idea helps.
