Can't see STM32 Things Plus after programming through Arduino IDE

Using Ubuntu 22.04, with the STM32CubeProgrammer installed, I cannot see the board after pressing the RST button. When I power cycle the board, dmesg outputs:

[27279.955110] usb usb2-port1: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?

[27284.051256] usb usb2-port1: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?

[27284.051421] usb usb2-port1: attempt power cycle

[27288.471376] usb usb2-port1: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?

[27292.587556] usb usb2-port1: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?

[27292.587723] usb usb2-port1: unable to enumerate USB device

When I put it into bootloader mode, I do get an output from dmesg:

[27450.163973] usb 3-1: new full-speed USB device number 23 using xhci_hcd

[27450.313332] usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0483, idProduct=df11, bcdDevice=22.00

[27450.313342] usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3

[27450.313346] usb 3-1: Product: STM32 BOOTLOADER

[27450.313348] usb 3-1: Manufacturer: STMicroelectronics

[27450.313351] usb 3-1: SerialNumber: 346E32583431

I tried to erase the flash use the STM32CubeProgrammer, to no avail. I also tried to program it using the STM32CubeProgrammer and that didn’t work either.

How can I fix this board to get some output from it when it is operating?

I programmed it while the board was connected to the pc under /dev/ttyACM0, as the Arduino IDE was not seeing it any other way.

It looks like somehow linux is trying to use different usb drivers when enumerating the different modes (2 vs 3.1)

Do you have a different host PC (or windows, Mac) you can test with?

Yes I did test it on Windows 11 and on another Ubuntu machine. Neither device recognized it, bit did recognize it when it was in DFU mode.
