   !linux my computer no longer recognizes anything USB3; if I get a new motherboard (which I hope would solve that problem) will I have to re-install linux (currently Debian)? I have no idea what to expect... #ihatehardware

     Make sure you have USB3 compatible cables that haven't failed in mysterious ways. Someone in @GTALUG had that problem not so long ago: http://gtalug.org/pipermail/talk/2015-October/002133.html

     @bobjonkman good point, I'll see if I can test with an extra cable - but it's not just that: a flash drive in a USB3 port directly on the computer also isn't detected, and neither is my brand-new RAID box. So I think it's the hardwar…

     @windigo I'm using the latest testing - is that Jessie now? (I'm bad at remembering names.) I'm asking because I wonder to what extent the installed system is 'adapted' to the hardware detected during installation. I don't want to en…

     @lnxw48 oh, disappointing! But my hardware did work, though there always seemed to be grumbles during boot before it finally did work. Last weekend it all started deteriorating during a series of boot attempts until nothing USB3 worked any more.

     @mk Careful, the Arch guys are going to jump on that statement! :D
