Ubuntu 16.04 LTS fresh install, on a Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-D3H Rev 3 motherboard.



  • Keyboard and mouse work fine when I have nothing in my USB 3 hub.

  • If I connect USB 2 flash drives in the hub, no problems.

  • If I connect a USB 3 flash or hard drive, all USB's become unresponsive, and cannot use Keyboard or mouse until I unplug it.

Where do I start to find the problem?



Thanks!

    Does your USB flash drive have an activity LED? Is it flashing rapidly when you plug it in? If you do not have an activity LED, run



    sudo apt-get install dstat


    then run



    dstat


    Look at your CPU and Disk usage, and see what is using up your resources.



    Also keep in mind that dstat will run until you tell it to stop, so remember to CTRL-Z when you're done.



    Dstat can still be helpful even if you DO have an LED to look at because it will also display your CPU, Network, and other resources. Which may be helpful in solving your issue.






    share|improve this answer























    • I ran Dstat. So, it's not the CPU or anything going crazy, I guess it is that my USB mouse and keyboard aren't happy when I plug it in as my mouse tracking is all over the place and choppy and there is a long delay/dropped characters with my keyboard. Any other suggestions?
