Discussing USB failure on Ubuntu and resetting CMOS to resolve it.
USB keyboard and mouse in Ubuntu stops functioning until you reset the CMOS, after which it works temporarily before failing again... What’s happening in Windows? No issues at all! If you boot directly into Windows without resetting the CMOS, the problem shows up there—what triggers this? :c
It seems you're experiencing issues with CMOS resetting upon booting into Ubuntu. You might want to test other USB ports for your peripherals. The simplest connectors work best, such as USB 2.0 rather than USB 3. Also, confirm whether the necessary USB drivers are installed on your system.
On my previous Z68 board, USB2 was supported natively, while USB3 required enabling it through a motherboard driver.
How the hell should CMOS store information about USB? Seems stupid but have you tried just a forced and complete shutdown? Anyway, which distro are you using? How you got Ubuntu installed without keyboard and mouse tho? If that is a kernel driver fault, you could check the /var/log/kern.log file for any errors and if there are present for a specific driver (if you'll show me that file I'll tell you if thats it) is probably a kernel-specific bug and would suggest to update to a recent kernel using Ukuu in ubuntu, or just use a more cutting-edge distro
Well I guess if I can safely reach that file before it cuts my USB off then sure, this time when I tried to install Linux Mint it actually had no issues until I rebooted it. So how exactly do I update the kernel? Is there a risk to shut down the machine if the USB fail during that process? (its a fresh install so not much there, my personal theory is that Ubuntu & any other ubuntu after 16.04 OC the system to the point where the USB fail since CPU clocks are higher I noticed when I got into Windows once without the USB failing immediately...)
