Hi

I stumbled over a behaviour when connecting a USB device which I couldn't find any explanation for.
So, I'm trying here.
Why connecting a USB device (USB-TTL converter) direct and via an USB hub makes a difference?
When I connect it directly all I see in /var/log/syslog are errors, when connectedd via a USB-hub
it works as expected.
See logs below.
hp8300 is HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF (QV996AV), kernel: 4.15.0-50-generic #54-Ubuntu

lshw reports:
        *-usb:0
             description: USB controller
             product: 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI Host Controller
             vendor: Intel Corporation
        *-usb:1
             description: USB controller
             product: 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #2
             vendor: Intel Corporation

BTW, it does work as expected on a Lenovo x220 (same OS).
Let me know if I should provide any more information.

Thanks in advance for any hint.

Regards,
Chris
