Installation of UBUNTU 22.04.1 on August 15, 2022 STILL HAS THIS BUG. The installation was an upgrade from UBUNTU 20.04 which failed due to other issues with PYTHON.
Subsequent clean installs of UBUNTU 22.04.1 constantly caused re- occurances of this bug. It was necessary to UNINSTALL brltty to restore access to my USB->Serial converts. Installation of LINUX MINT 21 in December 2022 did --NOT-- have this problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to brltty in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1958224 Title: brltty claiming cp210x devices on 22.04 Status in brltty package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in brltty source package in Jammy: Fix Released Status in brltty package in Debian: Confirmed Bug description: * Impact The brltty udev rules are claiming generic devices IDs which makes some other devices like Arduino cards not able to interact with the serial port anymore * Test Case Try to use an Arduino over a cp210x or FTDI serial port, it should be able to talk to the computer - upgrades from focal/impish to the SRU version should have no question and no /etc/udev/rules.d/86-brltty-usbgeneric.rules generated - upgrades from brltty 6.4-4ubuntu2 1. if a device matching the IDs 0403:6001 / 10C4:EA60 / 10C4:EA80 is connectect at the time of the upgrade it should prompt with the debconf question 1.a if the answer is yes, /etc/udev/rules.d/86-brltty-usbgeneric.rules should be generated 1.b if the answer is no, /etc/udev/rules.d/86-brltty-usbgeneric.rules not installed 2. if no matching device is connected there should be no debconf question nor /etc/udev/rules.d/86-brltty-usbgeneric.rules generated - installing brltty when it was not installed no question and no config generated * Regression potential If the debconf logic is wrong users could be prompted with the question when not needed or not prompted when they should.
