fastboot in ubuntu sometimes works somtimes doesn't

MSX

I'm having this really strange issues with fastboot in Ubuntu. In Windows 10 everything works fine.

Sometimes fastboot works and I can boot/flash recovery image I'm creating for my phone. But sometimes it just won't work. I get:

fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
FAILED (command write failed (Success))
finished. total time: 0.000s

The USB cable is fine, it's new and on the phone screen in bootloader I see "Transfer Mode: USB connected."

Usually when fastboot refuses to work the screen on the phone becomes black for a few seconds then displays the bootloader screen for about 30 seconds, then becomes black again ... It almost seems as if it restarts the bootloader.

If I run lsusb I see my device:

Bus 003 Device 005: ID 22b8:2e80 Motorola PCS Fastboot kiev S

I tried all three USB ports on my laptop. I don't have other computers to test on. And since everything works fine in Windows, I doubt that there's something wrong with the USB ports.

The adb works fine all the time. Any ideas how should I proceed to diagnose this issue? It's really annoing to boot to Windows every time I modify my recovery in order to test it.

Thanks for your help!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
