Bug Description
A user with 18.10 reported log being spammed with:
Nov 01 16:49:50 myhostname systemd-
Nov 01 16:49:50 myhostname systemd-
Nov 01 16:49:50 myhostname systemd-
Nov 01 16:49:50 myhostname systemd-
We tracked this down to a broken udev rule
Nov 1 16:49:53 feminalia systemd-
Nov 1 16:49:53 feminalia systemd-
Nov 1 16:49:53 feminalia systemd-
where it is using:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{idVendor}
and as the idVendor is being ignored is executing for almost all USB ADD events. It should be using ATTR{idVendor}
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
