They are marked "Generic Identifier", that's 0403:6001 10C4:EA60 10C4:EA80 > I also don't understand why those rules are debian specific See the diff between ./debian/brltty-udeb.udev.rules and ./Autostart/Udev/device.rules.in Note that in debian we use the udev rules *only* inside the installer. The current strategy in Debian is that in the installer we use udev rules to autodetect braille devices. But in the installed system we don't: when the user installs brltty, the user means that they have a Braille device and want to probe it, whether it uses a generic USB ID or not, i.e. we always start brltty > How does upstream handle the devices? When brltty is started it just always probes all devices. Its udev rules file always starts brltty, be it generic IDs or not. > We should stop installing brltty by default going forward That would align with the way it happens in Debian yes. Ideally the udev rules would be split so that the non-generic pieces get always installed to start brltty, and the generic pieces are installed only when necessary. That's a matter of actually spending time on implementing it. > we aren't going to respin ISOs on old serie for such changes and that wouldn't be a solution for already installed systems... Yes, rather disable the generic udev rules. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1958224 Title: brltty claiming cp210x devices on 22.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brltty/+bug/1958224/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
