Brian, I can explain this. General requirement of upstream maintainers is to include output of 'cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices'. It is the most full source and can be run on any Linux system.
'usb-devices' output includes basically the same information. But this software is not available in all linux systems. Output of 'usb-devices' is acceptable upstream. It really does not make much difference which one to use. But I vote for 'usb-devices', since it is available in Ubuntu, does not require sudo and the output is a bit shorter. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in 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) Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: What is expected to happen is when an original reporter files a report via a terminal: ubuntu-bug linux or performs an apport-collect to a report that is affecting tbe linux (Ubuntu) package, apport automatically gathers the following command and adds it as an attachment: usb-devices Lsusb is not sufficient. Upstream bluetooth maintainer requires the output of: cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices Without this information patches are never accepted. Please add this output to apport. If needed, I can provide a patch, but it is very straight-forward to add.
