USB descriptor read/64, error 32 with USB Ports empty

General Help
1

Hi, I'm having the same issue and found this thread googling a bit, I guessed it was related to boot with a USB device connected as I started to see it when I forget to unplug something. But it shows sometimes although all ports are empty, sometimes it does not show. Is this something I should worry about?

You may have something remaining in your fstab file. Can we take a look?

cat /etc/fstab

Here, I guess it is fine?
I also plugged an USB on arch port to make sure they were working

That looks normal.

Looking at the journal I get "device not accepting address " with numbers 5 and 6, 10 and 11, 14 and 15, 18 and 19, 22 and 23 along with it, it doesn't show when booting but here, I guess those are related to the first one.

Have you run a S.M.A.R.T. test on the drive?

No, how can I do that?

Done, S.M.A.R.T. reports passed in the result with my system disk

I also did it on the other disk just to make sure, no errors found either (it is not in the fstab file, though)

I think what we are heading toward is possible failure of the USB module itself. Some of them are just plug-in, not soldered to the motherboard. it really depends on which is failing...

I see, it is an old laptop (but came out pretty good), I'm not sure if I can replace the module but maybe I could take a look at it. Thanks a lot.
