[arch-general] xfce-powermanager issue since kernel 3.19
Hi all, since having updated to kernel 3.19 xfce Power Manager Panel Plugin does not show my logitech trackball (m570) and keyboard (k230) both connected through wireless usb dongle. other logitech device (logitech m235 mouse) does. all are shown with lsusb: $ lsusb | grep Logitech Bus 004 Device 005: ID 046d:c52b Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver Bus 004 Device 004: ID 046d:c52f Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver Bus 003 Device 007: ID 046d:c52b Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver and all work fine. downgrading to kernel 3.18 solves this issue. This is nothing making me sad all the day :o)) Nevertheless I'm a little bit lost where to report what? -- Friedrich

Hi all,
since having updated to kernel 3.19 xfce Power Manager Panel Plugin does not show my logitech trackball (m570) and keyboard (k230) both connected through wireless usb dongle. other logitech device (logitech m235 mouse) does.
all are shown with lsusb: $ lsusb | grep Logitech Bus 004 Device 005: ID 046d:c52b Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver Bus 004 Device 004: ID 046d:c52f Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver Bus 003 Device 007: ID 046d:c52b Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver
and all work fine.

Hi Friedrich,
It's a kernel regression an as such you should definitely report it to
LKML. Even if userspace was doing weird things, general kernel policy
is that if a kernel upgrade breaks userspace it's the kernel's fault
and the kernel should be fixed.
It doesn't hurt to narrow down the subsystem which might be causing
the problem and include the appropriate people and mailing lists in
the email. I would start with the HID (input devices) subsystem
(althouh your problem may be more about power management, but still,
if it's not in their court, the HID people will tell you who to
contact or forward your email to the correct people). From
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/MAINTAI...
it seems in addition to LKML you should mail:
HID CORE LAYER

[..]
it seems in addition to LKML you should mail:
HID CORE LAYER M: Jiri Kosina
L: linux-input@vger.kernel.org
did so an got answer immediately: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.input/42834
In my experience, if you report a regression people will work with you to get it narrowed down and fixed.
indeed this was the case :o)) [..] so all fine for me now and will be soon for the rest. Thanks again. -- Friedrich
