Package: fwupd Version: 1.9.14-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I have a Kensington Expert Mouse (trackball) connected by USB. Today I installed the update to fwupd 1.9.14 that `apt upgrade` offered me. Soon afterwards, my trackball stopped working. I was able to re-enable it by disconnecting and reconnecting it, but this proved short-lived - it eventually cut out again. I reconnected it and it worked for a little longer, then I had to reconnect it again, and eventually reconnecting it did nothing - it stayed non-functional. I started checking the logs, and eventually I noticed this error message appearing shortly before the messages recording the trackball's reconnection: fwupd[1106287]: 01:23:55.952 FuUsbDevice failed to load BOS descriptor from USB device: USB error on device 047d:1020 : Operation timed out [-7] I can confirm that 047d:1020 identifies my trackball: $ for name in /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1.6/{idVendor,idProduct,manufacturer,product}; do printf "%s\t%s" "$(basename "$name")"; cat "$name"; done idVendor 047d idProduct 1020 manufacturer Kensington product Kensington Expert Mouse I ran "systemctl stop fwupd", reconnected my trackball, and then it worked fine. Investigating further, I discovered that I can disable my trackball on-demand by running "sudo fwupdtool get-devices". It prints the following output: Loading… [******* ]05:01:05.132 FuUsbDevice failed to load BOS descriptor from USB device: USB error on device 047d:1020 : Operation timed out [-7] Loading… [************************************** ] ...and then my trackball stops working until I reconnect it. It seems that fwupd 1.19.14's changelog mentions "Fix DS-20 descriptors by opening the GUsbDevice earlier", and apparently "DS-20 descriptor" is a specific kind of "BOS descriptor". -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.5.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_AU:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages fwupd depends on: ii adduser 3.137 ii libarchive13 3.7.2-1 ii libc6 2.37-15 ii libcbor0.10 0.10.2-1.1 ii libcurl3-gnutls 8.5.0-2 ii libflashrom1 1.3.0-2.1+b1 ii libfwupd2 1.9.14-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.78.4-1 ii libgnutls30 3.8.3-1 ii libgudev-1.0-0 238-3 ii libgusb2 0.4.8-1 ii libjcat1 0.2.0-2 ii libjson-glib-1.0-0 1.8.0-2 ii liblzma5 5.4.5-0.3 ii libmbim-glib4 1.30.0-1 ii libmbim-proxy 1.30.0-1 ii libmm-glib0 1.22.0-3 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 124-1 ii libprotobuf-c1 1.4.1-1+b1 ii libqmi-glib5 1.34.0-2 ii libqmi-proxy 1.34.0-2 ii libsqlite3-0 3.45.1-1 ii libsystemd0 255.3-2 ii libtss2-esys-3.0.2-0 4.0.1-7 ii libxmlb2 0.3.15-1 ii shared-mime-info 2.4-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.3.dfsg-3+b1 Versions of packages fwupd recommends: ii bolt 0.9.6-2 ii dbus 1.14.10-4 ii fwupd-amd64-signed [fwupd-signed] 1:1.4+1 ii jq 1.7.1-2 ii python3 3.11.6-1 pn secureboot-db <none> ii udisks2 2.10.1-5 Versions of packages fwupd suggests: pn gir1.2-fwupd-2.0 <none> -- Configuration Files: /etc/fwupd/fwupd.conf [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/fwupd/fwupd.conf' -- no debconf information
