Recently installed 18.04 on a fresh hard drive. Everything seems to work, including usb keyboard/mouse, but not usb storage devices. The usb storage devices (I've tried three different ones) all work on other computers running both Windows and Linux.

Here's the output of lsusb (the usb storage device is PNY):

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 04f2:0116 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd KU-2971/KU-0325 Keyboard
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:c077 Logitech, Inc. M105 Optical Mouse
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 154b:fa64 PNY 
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

And here's the output of dmesg:

[  339.995508] usb 2-1.3: new high-speed USB device number 7 using ehci-pci

[  340.126800] uas: Unknown symbol usb_stor_adjust_quirks (err 0)

And finally, fdisk only shows the hard drive:

sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 446 GiB, 478888853504 bytes, 935329792 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Attempted fixes:

  • I've tried blacklisting the device
  • I've tried odd solutions like switching nvidia drivers away from nouveau drivers
  • I've tried updating to the latest kernel.
  • The issue seems to be isolated to a software/OS issue cause this PNY drive is also a USB live stick which can be booted into.

Still can't connect any usb storage devices. Please help!
