[Bug 1876831] [NEW] Microbit WebUSB Udev Rule Missing

[ryan walmsley]

Public bug reported:


Expected Result: Micro:Bit shows under Web USB devices in chrome as in 19.10
What happened: Micro:bit does not show under Web USB Devices unless Udev rules are added.

I re-installed my computer recently to 20.04 as my SSD Died around the
time it came out so decided to use it as a chance to upgrade at the same
time.

I noticed when trying to use the WebUSB Feature of the Micro:bit it was
no longer detected by chrome (not via the snap and was direct deb) and
to confirm this issue I tried on my Ubuntu 19.10 laptop and it detected
the micro:bit via webusb no issue.

After looking around I added the Udev rule from the microbit site at
https://support.microbit.org/support/solutions/articles/19000105428
-webusb-troubleshooting#Linux

and it did start to work under 20.04.

I would call this a bug, as for many users going from where it's working
on one version to not on another I suspect I won't be the only user
wondering why it isn't working. If it is where Ubuntu 19.10 and 19.04
(and maybe even earlier) worked then I wouldn't be opening this bug.


Thanks -
