Description of problem:

hello,

i just installed fedora 17 (64bit) on a new computer (a dell inspiron 7520), and am having the following issue: my wireless logitech mouse works with a hub, but it does not work *without* a hub anymore. all the ports on the laptop are usb 3.0, but the hub is usb 2.0.

dmesg when plugged directly into the computer:

i'd be grateful for any help, cheers!


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

in the discussion on bug 823815 i was suggested that this might be a kernel bug (the other suggestion was that it is a hardware problem, but i don't think so, because the mouse/keyboard don't work on any of the usb 3.0 ports, but do work whenever i connect them through my usb 2.0 hub, both mouse/keyboard and hub work on my other computer)
i am on kernel 3.4.4-5.fc17.x86_64


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. plug logitech unfied receiver into usb 3.0 port
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
mouse doesn't work

Expected results:
mouse should work

Additional info:
plug the same receiver into the same port, but using a hub (usb 2.0) → everything works just fine

Comment 1 Michal Schmidt 2012-07-16 08:56:25 UTC
This report in Ubuntu looks like a similar problem:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/971854
Somebody there suggested a workaround:
 modprobe -r hid_logitech_dj
 modprobe -r usbhid
 modprobe usbhid

It would be useful to know if it helps.

Your problem may be resolved faster if you could test whether the bug happens also with a current upstream kernel from Linus's git tree and then posting about your problem to the upstream linux-input mailing list:
http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-input
(or maybe to linux-usb).

Comment 2 kpijarski 2012-07-16 11:38:41 UTC
hello michal, 
thanks for you quick reply - yes, it does seem this is the same bug, but the workaround doesn't work, unfortunately.
unloading hid_logitech_dj work fine, but trying to remove usbhid results in the foolowing message:
libkmod: kmod_module_get_holders: could not open '/sys/module/usbhid/holders': No such file or directory
Error: Module usbhid is in use

as to the upstream kernel - i did compile my own kernel once or twice (on ubuntu), but i have no idea how to go about compiling a kernel from git. any reasonable how-tos out there?

Thanks!

Comment 3 kpijarski 2012-07-16 12:49:07 UTC
ok, i think this is the relevant launchpad bug fot this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/958174

there also is an appropriate kernel bug filed for this issue:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43631

does this seem right?

Comment 4 Josh Boyer 2012-07-16 14:08:58 UTC
According to the launchpad bug, this is a regression introduced by commit 4ea5454203d991ec upstream.  Seems logitech is working on a fix.  We'll monitor.

Comment 5 Robert Hoffmann 2012-12-28 22:01:51 UTC
Hello guys, 
I just installed FC17 on a brand new Vaio S (japanese version) and I found the following, which appears to be related to this.

1. I could not get the NetworkManager to work (it would actually semi-hang the box , unless I removed and blacklisted the "sierra" module)
2. After I got that working, I plugged in my Logitech wireless USB mouse, and it was working fine, until I did a yum upgrade.
current kernel: 3.6.10-2.fc17.i686.PAE #1 SMP Tue Dec 11 18:27:35 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

the error I got in /var/log/messages is:
Dec 28 22:36:38 yuko kernel: [ 1072.671312] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046D:C52B.0006: hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Device [Logitech USB Receiver] on usb-0000:00:14.0-3/input2

after doing:
   modprobe -r hid_logitech_dj
   modprobe -r usbhid
   modprobe usbhid

then replugging the mouse I still got zilch, no response,
Then I did a modprobe hid_logitech_dj


Now my mods looklike this:
[root@yuko ~]# lsmod | grep usb
btusb                  23199  0 
bluetooth             275642  24 bnep,btusb,rfcomm
[root@yuko ~]# lsmod | grep logi
hid_logitech_dj        18173  0 

Then I changed the little wireless usb dongle from one port to another, and voilla mouse is working as reported by the messages file:

----------
p.s.: about the sierra mod, well the machine would not go past the login, i.e. no gnome, nothing , and I noticed the sierra messages on the black screen of forever-wait:
Dec 29 02:08:52 yuko kernel: [    9.587568] sierra: v.1.7.16:USB Driver for Sierra Wireless USB modems
Dec 29 02:08:56 yuko kernel: [   18.351839] sierra ttyUSB0: sierra_submit_rx_urbs: submit urb failed: -8
Dec 29 02:08:56 yuko kernel: [   18.352408] sierra ttyUSB0: sierra_submit_rx_urbs: submit urb failed: -8

Dec 29 02:08:56 yuko kernel: [   18.353486] sierra ttyUSB0: sierra_submit_rx_urbs: submit urb failed: -8

so I went into recovery mode (fancy word for singleuser i guess lol) and blacklisted the sierra mod.

p.s.: only win8 the machine saw was the UEFI boot screens in japanese which i had to decode with my wife's help, until i got to the BIOS and was able to set up legacy boot mode and wipe the beast clean.

Comment 6 Robert Hoffmann 2012-12-29 04:56:27 UTC
Update:

I was able to reproduce this problem in my other new Vaio Z.
And I also seem to have found a "fix".

If I unplug and replug the small dongle on the computer, while the mouse is "switched on" then the problem always happens (error -32)

But, if I turn off the mouse before plugging the dongle back in, and once plugged in, then everything works fine "as advertised".

I hope this kicks the ball into logitech/user court.

cheers

Comment 7 Benjamin Tissoires 2013-02-11 18:57:38 UTC
The problem has been reported upstream only yesterday :(

Here is my answer and an attempt to fix the problem (which seems hardware related):
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/2125381/

To sum up, the USB3 interfere with the receiver, and the command is not correctly sent. The driver should not give up in such cases and try later to re-probe the mouse.

Cheers,
Benjamin

*** Bug 904875 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 9 Benjamin Tissoires 2013-03-07 16:53:20 UTC
The fix has been accepted upstream:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jikos/hid.git/commit/?h=for-3.9/upstream-fixes&id=dcd9006b1b053c7b1cebe81333261d4fd492ffeb

It will be pushed into 3.9 and be sent to stable as soon as it lands into Linus' tree.

Comment 10 Josh Boyer 2013-03-07 18:12:22 UTC
Patch applied to F17/F18.  Rawhide should pick it up naturally.  Thanks Benjamin.
