So, it works without a custom udev rule in 19.10, but does not work without a custom udev rule in 20.04? Just want to confirm my understanding.
Can you paste the output of these commands, from both your 19.10 and 20.04 systems? Run them while you have the 'micro:bit' device connected, of course, and also please remove any custom udev rule(s) you have added and reboot. $ lsusb -t $ find /dev/bus/usb -ls ** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1876831 Title: Microbit WebUSB Udev Rule Missing Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Expected Result: Micro:Bit shows under Web USB devices in chrome as in 19.10 What happened: Micro:bit does not show under Web USB Devices unless Udev rules are added. I re-installed my computer recently to 20.04 as my SSD Died around the time it came out so decided to use it as a chance to upgrade at the same time. I noticed when trying to use the WebUSB Feature of the Micro:bit it was no longer detected by chrome (not via the snap and was direct deb) and to confirm this issue I tried on my Ubuntu 19.10 laptop and it detected the micro:bit via webusb no issue. After looking around I added the Udev rule from the microbit site at https://support.microbit.org/support/solutions/articles/19000105428 -webusb-troubleshooting#Linux and it did start to work under 20.04. I would call this a bug, as for many users going from where it's working on one version to not on another I suspect I won't be the only user wondering why it isn't working. If it is where Ubuntu 19.10 and 19.04 (and maybe even earlier) worked then I wouldn't be opening this bug.
