I uploaded an SRU update for precise to the review queue. ** Description changed:
In newer kernels, hiddev* devices now have class "usbmisc", rather than "usb" (for reference see http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux- usb/msg62276.html ). Attached is a patch that fixes this without changing existing behavior for older kernels. The patch commit message contains an example attribute-walk on 3.7.0 + + SRU INFORMATION: + Patch: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/upower/commit/?id=9f31068707fc79744961cea7258b0eb262effbf1, in raring + Impact: We regularly backport newer kernels to LTS releases, and we do not want to cause regressions in power management, especially not if we switch some 12.04.x point release to a newer kernel by default. + Regression potential: None, it keeps recognizing the "usb" subsystem, and "usbmisc" does not yet exist in Precise final. + Test case: This needs a device like an USB controlled UPS or a wireless mouse/keyboard which reports its battery charge. These should work as before with the updated upower, and continue to report their charge in the power indicator with newer kernels. ** Changed in: upower (Ubuntu Precise) Status: Triaged => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1091702 Title: upower fails to recognize hid devices with new kernels To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upower/+bug/1091702/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
