Just recently installed the newest version of ubuntu desktop.

Having issues getting it to see my USB3 ports. if I plug anything into it, it sees nothing.


lsusb gives me this.

I have 8 USB 2.0 ports and 4 USB3, two on the back + 2 on the front attached via 1 cable to motherboard.

Not even sure how to tell which one could potentially USB3...

dmesage after plugging / unplugging from USB3 results in nothing.

not sure where to go from here.
 
In case someone else runs into this problem, here is the solution:


for getting usb 3.0 working do this:

open a terminal and input this:
Code: 
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
input your password
then find the line that says: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
then make it this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="iommu=soft"
save the file
then run this in the terminal:
Code: 
sudo update-grub
reboot and disable iommu in the bios

After this all usb 3.0, usb 2.0, and ethernet should work.
