Public bug reported: I was using a simple USB CCD barcode reader[1] from several months ago with Ubuntu 8.04 without any trouble. But after the upgrade to 9.04 (through 8.10), this barcode reader is not working anymore. Worst: it kill the X session as soon as I try to scan a barcode (current session is killed and the screen to log-in is shown). Pluging it does no harm, though.
Given it was working like a charm on 8.04, is there anything to add in xorg.conf? 1. http://www.rakuten.co.jp/fksystem/702994/613735/ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.04 Release: 9.04 /var/log/messages (when plugging-in the scanner) May 2 22:19:01 kumo kernel: [21888.413149] usb 2-1: USB disconnect, address 2 May 2 22:19:16 kumo kernel: [21903.328012] usb 6-2: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 May 2 22:19:16 kumo kernel: [21903.503092] usb 6-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice May 2 22:19:17 kumo kernel: [21903.931545] input: Guest Generic DE64-401 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb6/6-2/6-2:1.0/input/input7 May 2 22:19:17 kumo kernel: [21903.944051] cypress 0003:04B4:DE64.0004: input,hidraw3: USB HID v1.00 Keyboard [Guest Generic DE64-401] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-2/input0 ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Barcode reader kill X on scan https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370851 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
