Whenever I utilize any (except for --version) adb command (adb devices, for instance), my system completely freezes and I have to reboot. My laptop is a Lenovo B50-30 running a (relatively) fresh Ubuntu 18.04 installation, no phones are connected. What do I have to do in order to get adb working ?
What I have already tried :
- Connecting phone
- Changing BIOS settings - disabled legacy USB & changed legacy to UEFI boot
- Running adb using
sudo - Removing
tlp(sudo apt remove tlp) - Checking whether port is in use (
sudo netstat -tulpn | grep 5037) - Upgrading adb (
sudo apt upgrade adb) - Running different adb commands
Update : I have tried a different computer with (relatively similar) specs but an older Ubuntu (16.04) and also an older kernel, and it worked pretty much seamlessly.

Old question but I was stuck with this problem too. So I found what's causing it: the BIOS.
There should be a option to enable/disabe xHCI Support - enable /disable external USB3.0 Controller.
If it's disabled, adb won't freeze the OS
