Public bug reported: When I use lsusb to display the detected usb devices this is what I get:
========================================= Bus 005 Device 003: ID 145f:0142 Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 003: ID 045e:0040 Microsoft Corp.

All I get is the 8 digit number with a colon in the middle. No vendor/type information. I would expect something such as "Trust. Webcam" to be displayed as well. btw: Cheese 2.24.2 can take snapshots. kernel version: 2.6.27-11 Ubuntu 8.10 Trust WB-6250X Webcam ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- lsusb detects webcam but doesn't display the type/vendor information https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344306 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
