@Jakub, pulling it an extra interpreter in a stable update is probably not something we want to do so we are going to either fix the issue in the C code or let <= focal versions have issues in some cases. I do agree that starting doing changes to the logic might be something we want to avoid, there is probably an easier way to restore the previous behaviour but in a way that avoid the segfault right?
Also not that Jim is currently in Universe and not something Canonical has commited to maintain, which is why we are using tcl (which is in Ubuntu main) @Josua, the problem there isn't the language or startup performance but having to maintain one extra language/interpreter for us (Canonical/Ubuntu), it means we have to keep someone on team familiar with tcl and to commit to fix any security problem find in the tclsh (or jimtcl if we decide to promote this one) which is adding maintenance load of a small team already having lot to do -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to usb-modeswitch in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1866926 Title: Device validation failing when connected to an usb hub Status in usb-modeswitch package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: After upgrading to Ubuntu focal fossa development branch the usb_modeswitch does not seem to work any more on a Toshiba laptop. Two modems I have D-Link DWM-156 and Huawei E3372 show up as drives and stay like that until I use "Eject" in Gnome or explicitly use usb_modeswitch from the terminal. I have a strong feeling that it may either be related to Gnome or hardware. On another Dell laptop with Kubuntu focal fossa development, both modems connect automatically. /var/log/usb_modeswitch.log ends with: Warning: SCSI attribute "ref" not readable. Check class of first interface ... Device is in istall mode. No access to interface 8. Exit Up until and including the "ref" not readable is exactly the same as on Kubuntu @ Dell. Yet on Kubuntu I get plenty of successful config logs after that and on Ubuntu @ Toshiba I don't.
