USB-C monitor and USB hub intermittent odd behavior on 11th gen Framework 13

Hi everyone,

At my office, I use a Philips monitor that connects via USB-C. The model is Brilliance 258B6.

When connecting it to my Framework 11th gen running Ubuntu (currently 23.10) I intermittently bump into a behavior where the video signal works fine, but the USB peripherals are not recognized for the first couple of minutes. Then, they start working. I can go for weeks without the issue presenting itself, then it rears its ugly head.

The logs look like this:

I am adding the output of dmesg -T, scoped around the time I plugged and unplugged the monitor.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Cheers,

P.S. Note that this monitor is known to be a bit flaky. My coworker with a MacBook has to power cycle the monitor often to make sure the Ethernet pass-through works.

dmesg -T output

I am going to bump this thread just once, I promise. I’ll let it die if nobody has a suggestion.

You might want to use the latest version of Ubuntu, 24.04! It includes fixes for a lot of things, including potential driver improvements and kernel fixes for your peripheral.

Other than that, use a good quality cable and no usb extenders or anything like this.

Also, know that after applying updates, linux becomes instable and I recommend to immediately reboot, especially kernel / initramfs updates! You might encounter this problem when you updated to a new kernel version but did NOT restart! Its a very common problem.

Thanks @Adr !

I want to avoid breaking everything with an upgrade, as I am also considering switching boards (and therefore start from a clean slate). But I will keep this in mind.

You might be onto something. I’ll pay close attention. Even though I am 99% sure I have tried a reboot of the machine to solve the problem in the past, with no avail.

This is the first thing I tested. Sadly, it doesn’t seem to be a cable problem.
