@Josua, you are right that updates might lack behind, especially for stable Ubuntu series where we don't get updates synced from Debian. We currently don't have someone actively watching usb-modeswitch stack but I'm going to try to deal with issues and updates when I noticed that work needed.
The data package does sound like something we should keep updated in the LTS. Is there a public Vcs upstream? I wanted to check if things like bug #1823540 are maybe resolved there but I'm failing to navigate my way around the website to find the code location -- 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.
