@Sebastian, I am happy to correct myself in that Ubuntu is obviously NOT generally slow in picking up the latest update of the data package. You do have the current version now.
I was rather referring to earlier LTS releases. I'm not even sure if that's still the case with recent LTS versions. Fact is that the data package is usually easy to update, having had no incompatibilities with earlier ones for several years now. Much easier than backporting stuff in the kernel. However, even as I'm preparing an update right now, it may take a while until it's in the Debian repository. So I'd suggest to make the little change in the Ubuntu package preemptively. It's totally up to the maintainers though. -- 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: In Progress 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.
