The DA200 adapter had a problem a while ago, in that the HDMI/DVI ports weren't working on Linux (see here). However, the 4.5 kernel update was supposed to solve that.
Now however, the USB port on the adapter stopped working, so I can't connect my mouse/keyboard. On lsusb, the adapter shows up as one of:
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Not sure which, and not sure why it adds 2 of these Bus Device things (whatever they are).
The HDMI and Ethernet ports on it seem to work. I am running kernel 4.18.16-041816-generic. I think it started when I tried to use a new keyboard/mouse (using the USB slot on the adapter). Is it possible that it tried to install a driver that is now interfering with it working?
I was wondering if anyone knows how I would start troubleshooting this. For example, is there a way I can check which of ports on the adapter are "recognised" when something is plugged? Or which device it knows are plugged in?
As per the @chilli555 suggestion, I run tail -f /var/log/syslog, wait a few seconds, and then enter the device - with my screen's HDMI, my mouse's USB-3 (not working), and an Ethernet cable attached to the device. Incidentally, I'm now noticing that the ethernet cable isn't function in either. I get the following long output (sorry):

UPDATE:
When I have the adapter in already, and I plug in my ethernet cable, there is nothing new registering on tail -f /var/log/syslog. When I plug the HDMI cable on the other hand, there's a lot of activity. I noticed this message in tail -f /var/log/syslog, which occurred randomly (not after something was plugged in):
Dec 27 12:04:45 telesto kernel: [31045.087212] usb usb4-port1: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?
When I plug only the USB cable into the adapter port, I get no new output in /var/log/syslog.
tail -f /var/log/syslogInsert the device. Then edit your question to show the result. Get out of 'tail' with Ctrl+c.BAR 15: failed to assign [io size 0x1000, not sure if that's bad. I can't tell if theusbpart it refers to on some lines is the USB-C on my laptop or the USB3 on the device. However, I can't find any mention of the ethernet "turning on" (and it doesn't work). Also, as I said, I had stuff plugged in, including the screen. A lot of the output might be related to that and might be clouding out the rest. Should I retry without the screen/ethernet plugged in?lsusbappear the same with or without the adapter? I suspect that your assumption is correct, that the USB port is defective.lsusbchanges with:Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub. Plugging things into the adapter doesn't change anything in 'lsusb'.
