Public bug reported: A few of us know that "sudo update-usbids" will update the database of USB identifiers, which powers the human readable side of "lsusb".
New hardware is released all the time, and won't show up by name automatically, under current Ubuntu. Would it be possible to get a periodic automatic refresh of the USB identifier database, put in for everyone? ** Affects: update-manager-core (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1690005 Title: Adding "update-usbids" to regular maintenance upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager-core/+bug/1690005/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
