[Solved] usb 1-4: device descriptor read/64, error -71

Hello!

I'm getting the following errors and I'm not sure why:

Jan 07 05:45:25 babaliaris kernel: usb 1-4: device descriptor read/64, error -71
Jan 07 05:45:25 babaliaris kernel: usb 1-4: device descriptor read/64, error -71
Jan 07 05:45:25 babaliaris kernel: usb 1-4: device descriptor read/64, error -71
Jan 07 05:45:25 babaliaris kernel: usb 1-4: device descriptor read/64, error -71
Jan 07 05:45:25 babaliaris kernel: usb 1-4: device not accepting address 5, error -71
Jan 07 05:45:25 babaliaris kernel: usb 1-4: device not accepting address 6, error -71
Jan 07 05:45:25 babaliaris kernel: usb usb1-port4: unable to enumerate USB device

I don't have any USB devices plugged in.

Should I worry about these errors? By the way, they appeared after switching from KDE plasma to XFCE.
I installed XFCE and then I did pacman -Rns plasma kde-applications (Not sure if related to this problem)

Thank you for your time.

I doubt that has anything to do with changing from KDE to XFCE.     Maybe, maybe, it could have something to do with changing kernels.

It looks like a hardware problem.  Is this a laptop?  Laptops often have built in USB devices; often USB Cameras or Bluetooth controllers.   Are all these functions working? Maybe also check keyboards, touch pads and track sticks.

It seems after I fixed my other problem: Awakening from suspend freezes my laptop
it also fixed these error messages.

I'm getting --No entries-- when running journalctl -p 3 -b

Also, everything  (camera, camera microphone, Bluetooth, keyboard, touchpad) works just fine!!!

Thank you!

I had years to run into these kinds of problems using Arch, but this is a new laptop, I bought it a few days ago.
