Running Zorin 17.3 core. My laptop (ASUS Zenbook UX325EA) has two USB-C ports. They stopped working. The power cable uses one of them, my wireless mouse and keyboard uses another (with a USB adapter). I am now running on battery as I type this. I tried switching ports with the power cable - no difference. I was able to put the dongle in the one USB3 port so I can type this.
Is there a linux terminal command I use to query the state of my ports? Nothing in the settings panel that I can see. Is it possible that I did something to "turn-off" the ports? I did install libusb-dev with: sudo apt install libusb-dev in terminal. Rebooted - Did not notice a difference. Switched mice with a different dongle and rebooted again. That's when my problems started. At first I thought it was my adapter, but I plugged my power cable directly into both USB-C ports and saw that the battery was still draining. I also have an audio cable adapter to USB-C. I don't get any sound in the headphones, just the speakers. So it appears that the ports are just not working.
