Description Christian Schaller 2005-03-31 09:21:38 UTC
Description of problem:
I have a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy2 NX USB sound card. If I remove this
sound card by unplugging the USB device or turning of the sound card my laptop
keyboard stops working (Dell Inspirion 8600). The system also hangs when I
attempt to reboot. 

How reproducible:
Every time after I have used the sound card. If I dont use the soundcard just
connect/disconnect it this doesn't happen.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug in USB sound card
2. Play some music using XMMS or similar
3. Plug out USB Sound card

As a reference I know a couple of Ubuntu users who experienced the same problem
when unplugging USB mice and USB webcams.

Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2005-03-31 11:47:41 UTC
You're not mentioning which version of the kernel (ie. make sure it's the latest
erratum). Could you try to reproduce this without the nvidia modules as well?

Comment 2 Christian Schaller 2005-03-31 13:49:03 UTC
This is with kernel-2.6.10-1.737_FC3, I will try this evening with latest kernel
rpm update and without NVIDIA.

Comment 3 Richard Hughes 2005-03-31 14:18:03 UTC
Same, but with a SoundBlaster MP3+ USB soundcard. Latest rawhide kernel, not
tainted. I also get a message about khubd quitting right after the oops, which I
guess is a clue. Only happens when the card is recieving data; if I stop xmms,
wait a bit, then remove the usb lead then no oops. Can suply /var/log/messages
or test patches.

Comment 4 Chris Lee 2005-03-31 18:09:05 UTC
I also see this same bug but with a Logitech USB headset connected to an IBM
ThinkPad X31.

Comment 5 Christian Schaller 2005-03-31 19:34:42 UTC
I tried now with latest kernel (kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC3) without the Nvidia
module loaded and it makes no difference on the behaviour. I did find however
while testing this that the keyboard stopping to work behaviour sometimes
happens even when I dont play anything first.

Comment 6 Dave Jones 2005-07-15 19:18:42 UTC
An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which
may contain a fix for your problem.   Please update to this new kernel, and
report whether or not it fixes your problem.

If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem
still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version
field of this bug to 'fc4'.

Thank you.

Comment 7 Richard Hughes 2005-07-15 19:41:55 UTC
Fixed for me in FC4, I saw the upstream alsa fix a few months ago.

Comment 8 Dave Jones 2006-01-16 22:37:38 UTC
This is a mass-update to all currently open Fedora Core 3 kernel bugs.

Fedora Core 3 support has transitioned to the Fedora Legacy project.
Due to the limited resources of this project, typically only
updates for new security issues are released.

As this bug isn't security related, it has been migrated to a
Fedora Core 4 bug.  Please upgrade to this newer release, and
test if this bug is still present there.

This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO_REPORTER state.
Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is
still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed.

Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter
can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list
of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a
comment to the bug.

Thank you.


Comment 9 Dave Jones 2006-02-03 06:21:06 UTC
This is a mass-update to all currently open kernel bugs.

A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4)
based upon a new upstream kernel release.

Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches
go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that
may address this problem.

This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO_REPORTER state.
Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is
still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed.

Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter
can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list
of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a
comment to the bug.

If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the
release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613.

Thank you.
