I rechecked my plugs and they are all plugged in, however when I plug
in the usb port from my monitor onto my PC I get the following errors
showing up in my message log:

Feb 16 23:38:21 rivendell kernel: usb 2-1: new full speed USB device
using ohci_hcd and address 29
Feb 16 23:38:21 rivendell kernel: usb 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110

Any ideas what might be causing that?
