From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

USB-C ports no longer sending/receiving data (Lenovo X1 carbon) (lemmy.world)

I have a Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 12. The other day I noticed both of my USB-C ports are not receiving or sending data. External drives won't mount and my dock won't send signal to my monitor, but when I plug in my charging cable I am still getting power. When I use "lsblk" nothing shows up, even though sometimes I hear the chime signaling something has been plugged in (but it's inconsistent and sometimes doesn't chime).

Both of my USB-A ports are working properly and receive data, so it's only my USB-C ports.

I'm running Ubuntu 24.04.3. I tried to revert back to an earlier kernel in case that was the problem but it didn't fix the issue.

Anyone have a similar issue? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, sorry didn’t see until now.

Yes, what ended up happening was the computer was still under warranty and had Lenovo premium service (I didn’t pay anything extra for it, maybe it comes default with the X1 Carbon?), so a tech came out a day later and replaced the motherboard. It was actually super simple and I was back up and running in no time. I haven’t had any issues since.

Great to hear! All's well that ends well :)
