I have searched the forums but have found no solution to my problem. I am using Ubuntu 20.04 with an Android Pixel 6.
The problem is that the phone will only be recognized when plugged into one of my four USB ports. When I try lsusb on the USB-C port I see no entry for the phone. On another USB port I see an entry from lsusb but the phone mounts then dismounts and this continues in a endless loop. On another port lsusb doesn't see the phone at all. I have tried multiple cables to no avail. On the USB-C port I get this output from dmesg:

However other USB devices such as Blu-Ray drive or USB storage work just fine.
Here is lsusb with nothing plugged in:

Am I experiencing some sort of driver error? I'm stuck and not sure what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
