WINE causing USB ports to shut down?

[steelisreal]

I have been experiencing my USB ports shutting down the ones on the
back and then the hub at the front. This happens at a randon time and
comes back only at reboot. Through troubleshooting I have narrowed
the issue down to happening when WINE is running. I currently have
not run WINE in two day and all ports are still working.

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 beta.

Does it happen when you're just running Wine's notepad quietly in the
background?

Regardless, this sounds like a system problem, not a Wine problem.

Dan:

From what I remember that USB device drivers cannot be accessed
directly by Wine. I'm with you, this is a beta and might have a bug or two.

Also, I'm with you. Run Notepad as a background task and see if the USB
ports are disabled. I'm thinking more a kernel problem in Ubuntu 8.04 beta.
