Every USB port has stopped working on my laptop running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I executed lsusb in terminal and was prompted with the following:

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

I'm not sure what I'm doing. How can I fix this?

Have a look in the BIOS / set-up, sometimes there is an option to disable USB ports - make sure it's off. – JonasCz Sep 13 '16 at 16:11
    
What's the output of lspci -nnk | grep -A2 USB and sudo dmesg | grep -i -e '[uoex]hci' -e usb? See How do I save terminal output to a file? if you don't know how. And could you please edit your post, when you want to add information? Especially file or program output listings (with the help of the {} button in the editor toolbar) are much more readable there; alternatively you can use a pastie service for longer listings and include the link of your pastie in your question. – David Foerster Sep 13 '16 at 17:10

Maybe it will help you:
Open terminal, type: 

sudo -H gedit /etc/default/grub

Change the line

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

To

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi=force irqpoll"

Save and close the file.

sudo update-grub

Reboot.
