Ubuntu 14.04 issue

So I had my proxmark3 working on my laptop and my desktop, both running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64bit. I did an apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade on my desktop. Now for the life of me I can not get it to communicate on my desktop. Any ideas?

Re: Ubuntu 14.04 issue

Without details no idea, but if you want you can post the output of command dmesg for understand what happens when you insert PM3 in usb port.
What does mean "I can not get it to communicate"? Is there the device /dev/ttyACM0? Have you some errors?
Sorry but when I bought PM3 "magic ball" is not included.

Re: Ubuntu 14.04 issue

I do get a /dev/ttyACM0 but when I connect to it this is all i get

sudo ./proxmark3 /dev/ttyACM0
proxmark3> hw status
Status command failed. USB Speed Test timed out
proxmark3> hw ping
Ping failed
proxmark3>

Here is output from syslog when connecting the device:

Re: Ubuntu 14.04 issue

Maybe PM3 stay in bootloader mode, LED A(yellow) and C(red) are ON after you attach PM3 or go OFF?

Re: Ubuntu 14.04 issue

Yes I flashed the bootrom and fullimage yesterday from my laptop. Everything works when using the laptop. Also I pulled the latest from github, verified arm gcc version and compiled. Still the same symptoms.
