Title:
upower fails to recognize hid devices with new kernels
Status in upower package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in upower source package in Precise:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
In newer kernels, hiddev* devices now have class "usbmisc", rather
than "usb" (for reference see http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-
usb/msg62276.html ).
Attached is a patch that fixes this without changing existing behavior
for older kernels. The patch commit message contains an example
attribute-walk on 3.7.0
SRU INFORMATION:
Patch:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/upower/commit/?id=9f31068707fc79744961cea7258b0eb262effbf1,
in raring
Impact: We regularly backport newer kernels to LTS releases, and we do not
want to cause regressions in power management, especially not if we switch some
12.04.x point release to a newer kernel by default.
Regression potential: None, it keeps recognizing the "usb" subsystem, and
"usbmisc" does not yet exist in Precise final.
Test case: This needs a device like an USB controlled UPS or a wireless
mouse/keyboard which reports its battery charge. These should work as before
with the updated upower, and continue to report their charge in the power
indicator with newer kernels.
