[SOLVED] udev warning

nitralime · 2012-01-26 08:57:32

After upgrading to the latest version of udev I get now the following warning among boot messages

udevd[255]: RUN+="socket:..." support will be removed from a future udev release. 
Please remove it from: /lib/udev/rules.d/90-hal.rules:2 and use libudev to subscribe to events.

Does anyone know what is to do in this case?

Regards
Nik

Well, HAL is deprecated for quite a while.
Check for which packages/functionality you need it and try finding another solution.

Could you give me some hints how you would proceed to find it out?

LANG= pacman -Qi hal | grep ^Required

I think It should read

LANG=C pacman -Qi hal | grep ^Required

(nope, I like it minimal, there's no difference in output ;-)

Here is the output:

$ LANG=C pacman -Qi hal | grep ^Required
Required By    : None

or

$ pacman -Qt | grep ^hal
hal 0.5.14-6

This only says that hal is not required by any other packages!
But it may very well be used by itself and not just as a dependency!

Should I just remove hal and see what happens?
How can I actually implement the recommendation in the boot message:

Please remove it from: /lib/udev/rules.d/90-hal.rules:2 and use libudev to subscribe to events

Well, then it's easy: just remove hal (I usually run 'pacman -Rncss' but a simple -R should give the same results)

I have removed it and the warning has been disappeared (as expected)!

Thank you!
