Hello,
I searched a bit around, but didn't find anything similar (tried to find
somethin in bugzilla...).
On my machine (Thinkpad E485), running Fedora 40 with all latest updates
(Kernel 6.11.5-200.fc40.x86_64) usb ports stopped working. On boot my
external Harddrive (connected through a hub) starts working, but when I
reach the GNOME login screen, everything USB related device stops. The
funny thing is, my phone still charges. But the hardrive disappears from
the system, the usb-mouse isn't working (trackpoint does), lsusb gives a
funny short list. I now booted the previous kernel, everything works
fine.
Anyone else noticing this?
Not on the 3 systems (one Apple, 2 Dell) I upgraded. Try a power off
restart. If that doesn't solve the issue, make sure you have current
firmware updates from Lenovo. This is likely a power management
issue -- there may be some UEFI as well as Gnome settings that affect
USB devices -- e.g., turning off external devices to reduce power needs
at inappropriate times. There have been many issues with wake from
sleep where devices don't get power back up.
