Solved, USB freezes, Mouse, Printer, Wireless, HCI Reset

[KSR-33-VIP]

Problems:
-wireless usb mouse freezes
-usb printer freezes or starts printing garbage (CUPS cancel jobs)
-wireless usb adapter freezes
-cell phone android usb cable freezes

Solution:
Debian 8.6.0 Jessie
try resetting the usb controllers by running this script
open terminal in su(super user)
sh usbreset.sh

edit usbreset.sh to your hci driver names (hci-usb host control interface)
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/uhci_hcd
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci-pci

usbreset.sh can also be used to bring back any
usb flash drives that have been unmounted and not unplugged

usbreset.sh

Code: Select all

# Reset USB Host Controllers Interface, unbind/bind device to driver
#
# terminal in su(super user)
# sh usbreset.sh   (to run script)

#edit usbreset.sh to your hci driver names
#/sys/bus/pci/drivers/uhci_hcd
#/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci-pci
#
# OHCI (Open Host Controller Interface)
# UHCI (Universal Host Controller Interface)
# EHCI (Enhanced Host Controller Interface)
# XHCI (eXtensible Host Controller Interface)
#
# OHCI and UHCI controllers supports USB 1 speed devices (1.5 Mbit/s and 12 Mbit/s)
# EHCI supports USB 2 devices (480 Mbit/s).
# xHCI supports all USB speeds, including SuperSpeed (5 Gbit/s) and future speeds

I have this vague recollection of reading some Ubuntu support thread that such usb device freezes can also at times be resolved by powering down system, unplugging and leaving it be for some time.

sometihng like this:

Not saying that your problem is this or that it would have helped. But apparently some times the motherboard can enter some kind of bizarre states that are released only by taking all power away from it for a long time.
