Trouble Shooting USB

Us lsusb from usbutils. You can check installation with Synaptic. For example:

eepp@tabor:~$ lsusb
Bus 004 Device 006: ID 04fe:0006 PFU, Ltd 
Bus 004 Device 005: ID 04fe:0008 PFU, Ltd 
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 03eb:21fe Atmel Corp. 
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 05ac:0304 Apple, Inc. Optical USB Mouse [Mitsumi]
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 010: ID 046d:0805 Logitech, Inc. 
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 06c2:0059 Phidgets Inc. (formerly GLAB) 
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 06c2:0045 Phidgets Inc. (formerly GLAB) PhidgetInterface Kit 8-8-8
