arkhenius Hmmm, does not sound like a Solus issue, as these stuff are either hardware related (which concerns the Linux kernel as that handles the hardware) or BIOS related. We would know for sure if you could use a live CD/USB to test it under another distribution. That is a fairly mature motherboard so I assume the latest kernel update would not fix it either... Unfortunate part is, it is difficult to suggest anything BIOS related without having access to a motherboard that has the same BIOS. I am stumped, sorry 🙁
Drewfus arkhenius did the live distro and had same issue, this is BIOS related for sure. I have latest BIOS and kernel installed
Drewfus to update, I have tried live cd of Manjaro, Tails, Kali, Solus all with same issue. Legacy usb ports pass .5v, BUT no data/ OS recognition
dbarron You might try to find a legacy install of Ubuntu (like maybe two years back?)...but I suspect you'll find the issue persistent there too. This just to make sure that it isn't an issue with most recent kernels.
Drewfus dbarron Thanks, next I am going to boot into BIOS and pop pix of my USB/inputs settings to post. Suspect it is in legacy support/handoff settings
Drewfus [deleted] Kali, Solus, Manjaro and TAILS all have same issue when loaded as live OS . USB legacy ports all pass .5v but no data/OS recognition.
Drewfus If I recall, changing the IOMMU controller to enabled in this configuration renders ALL USB ports useless and I must reboot with PS2 KB or mouse, so that's one I don't want to change again
[deleted] That seems to be a common issue with that series of boards on Linux. Add iommu=soft to boot parameters via this line (run it in a terminal) echo 'iommu=soft' | sudo tee /etc/kernel/cmdline Then run sudo clr-boot-manager update
Drewfus [deleted] before I reboot, when I do should I hit5 up the BIOS and enable IOMMU? I'm guessing yes, but confirm, I don't feel like having to run and get my ps2 keyboard and mouse out again 🙂
Drewfus Just did, and I'm GOLDEN, all USB ports working as they should! Thanks a million! SOLVED!!!! I tried a dozen other Linux boards, and even Gigabyte themselves, and you got me sorted, I really appreciate it!
Elarez Thanks! I have a similar motherboard and ran into the same issue, now I can have all mi usb 2 and usb 3 port running at the same time!
