udev 0.78 -> Current?

Gullible Jones · 2005-12-20 20:29:22

Is the new version of udev going to be moved to Current any time soon? I'm using Testing right now, and as far as I can tell, there aren't any problems with it.

With kernel 2.6.14 from current all is fine but with kernel 2.6.15rc6 the /dev/dvb belongs to root:root instead of root:video. So be warned for the new kernel 2..615 ;-)

Gullible Jones · 2005-12-20 23:27:57

But that could be changed via the udev rules, couldn't it?

There's still the odd quirk, Gullible. I posted a bug yesterday concerning libgphoto2 - tpowa fixed it today, in testing. I presume they wait until all known bugs are fixed before moving to current?

tpowa · 2005-12-21 07:58:58

movement will happen soon, i think 1 or 2 days, sane and gphoto are working now again, the ldap problem still exist, but we have no idea how to fix it.

if anyone has an idea go ahead and post your thoughts to the bug.

The only problem is /usr isn't mounted when udev is started up, so it complains about not being able to find /usr/libexec/hal.hotplug.

My /usr is mounted on LVM. I am not sure if thats the reason why. hal.hotplug probably should be moved to /lib/udev.

I think it is great that time is being taken to test udev. It must be one of the biggest sources of cockups and pressure to release it is asking for trouble. Nice work devs

One question has come up here when porting to arch64:

pcmciautils depends on hotplug which conflicts with new udev. How to solve this?

And udev 079 is out but it does not fix my permission issue to /dev/dvb

tpowa · 2005-12-26 09:09:47

pcmciautils in testing don'T depend on hotplug anymore.

tpowa: Can u please have a look at this patch from redhat: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/de … iew=markup

They've fixed something in the dvb rule! Maybe this could be a solution for my problem?

Edit: Mandriva's rules are looking a bit different too:

tpowa · 2006-01-03 12:45:33

our rule is the same as fedora's
does 2.6.15 not work?

AndyRTR · 2006-01-03 22:05:26

[andyrtr@workstation ~]$ ls -l /dev/dvb
insgesamt 0
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 0 2006-01-03 22:58 adapter0

I get this in archlinux 32bit and 64bit both running latest 079 udev and final kernel 2615.

:cry:

Strange! From what I remember with older kernel the /dev/dvb had root:video permissions too. But now it belongs too root:root.

But I can access the device. All subdevices have the wanted root:video permissions. I don't know if this is a wanted behavior. It works fine so and seems not to be a functional bug(in the RCs it still was!).
