USB recognized, but not usable
By Emma Martinez •
I booted my computer today and I don't know what happened, but all my USB devices aren't working anymore (webcam, mouse, keyboard, external drive). I can see them being connected through sudo lsusb, but Ubuntu doesn't let me use them. How do I get them back?
