Thanks for the lsusb output! It enabled me to provide a solution. usb_modeswitch can check for additional attributes beside the USB ID, precisely *because* of those IDs being re-used for different devices. The original idea was to have one ID for each device model or at least for one series of devices which are behaving alike. Manufacturers are messing this up occasionally though.
Fortunately, the previous devices with the ID 1de1:1101 have a specific entry for the attribute "iManufacturer". It's "actions" for the Pico Pix and "action" for the picture frame. Your device has "AMicro". So for the solution of the problem, the only thing that needs to be done is RENAMING usb_modeswitch's configuration file named "1de1:1101" to "1de1:1101:uMa=action". This will make usb_modeswitch work for the previous devices but ignore your device. So this is all the maintainers of the "usb-modeswitch-data" package have to do: In /usr/share/usb_modeswitch unpack the file "configPack.tar.gz". Rename the file "1de1:1101" as described. Repack the file. I will do the same upstream, but since Ubuntu seems to be a bit slow with incorporating updated packages of usb-modeswitch-data, maintainers may want to patch the currently used version. ** Attachment added: "solution.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-modeswitch/+bug/1878921/+attachment/5372683/+files/solution.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to usb-modeswitch in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1878921 Title: USB 3 NVMe SSD dongle doesn't flip Status in usb-modeswitch package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have a AM8180 AMicro adapter. It is an adapter for an M.2 SSD NVMe disk to USB 3. It works fine on Windows, but on Ubuntu, when I plug it in, the drive shows for a second then disappears. If I try to do fdisk or gparted, it seems to lock something and I can't shutdown the laptop (it is stuck on the Disk Management Unmounting step. My info: 1) Release: Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Release: 20.04 2) Package version: usb-modeswitch: Installed: 2.5.2+repack0-2ubuntu3 Candidate: 2.5.2+repack0-2ubuntu3 Version table: *** 2.5.2+repack0-2ubuntu3 500 500 http://th.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages 3) What I expect to happen: I expect the drive to stay mounted 4) What happened instead: The disk is mounted then immediately unmount. Before I create the partitions in Windows, nothing mounted but the disk briefly appeared in the Disk Manager. Attached is my (filtered) syslog when I plug to the USB-C (notice the message advising to tell the developers about the model. Maybe it's just vendor info missing). I have modified 2 flags in /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf: - DisableSwitching=0 changed to 1 - #SetStorageDelay=4 changed to un-commented then restarted. That didn't help.
