Christopher, I do not see any privacy concerns at all. The output just lists the devices with the additional information. The most private that can be there is a serial number of some devices, like Broadcom.
But it can be seen in dmesg either way. So it adds nothing new in this regard. The problem is that if someone forgets to get the output, a bug will never be fixed upstream. Marcel Holtman is very strict with his rules. And I agree with him. Threre is very many USB devices and the kernel filters it not only by PID & VID. If we commit some device without Cls, Sub, Prot fields, then it will be impossible to re-arrange it later, if needed. The change is very easy and the output is small enough. So I see no reasons not to add it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1550719 Title: Add output of usb-devices when ubuntu-bug linux or apport-collect'ing existing report affecting linux (Ubuntu) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1550719/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
