 Posted: Mon Jan 31, 2005 11:55 am Post subject: udev rule doesn't work on updated machine |
 |
|
i have two gentoo machines. one was being used as only a print server, and i decided to decommission it. on the print server (machine 1), i have udev 024-r1 installed. it is able to create a device called /dev/optra for my printer with the following rule in /etc/udev/udev.rules:
| Code: |
BUS="usb", SYSFS_serial="1138604", NAME="optra"
|
machine 2 is kept a bit more current and is running udev 050. i added the above rule to the top of my /etc/udev/rules.d/10-custom-udev.rules file. when i plug the printer into machine 2, and no device at all is created for the printer. dmesg on machine 2 shows the following output when i plug the printer in:
| Code: |
usb 2-6.3: new full speed USB device using address 4
drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 4 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x043D pid 0x000C
|
machine 1 shows a dmesg of:
| Code: |
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 2
drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 2 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x043D pid 0x000C
drivers/usb/core/usb.c: registered new driver usblp
drivers/usb/class/usblp.c: v0.13: USB Printer Device Class driver
|
machine 2 does have the usblp module loaded the same as machine 1 does. any help in getting this to work would be most appreciated. i had thought that decommissioning this machine would be as easy as copying the printer configuration over to the new machine. |

this has been "fixed".
first, i noticed the SYSFS didn't match the current syntax of SYSFS{serial}. i changed that and the rule still didn't work.
next, i spent some time on irc trying to collect any ideas of what could be missing here.
finally, i removed udev from being arch enabled. then when i emerged udev, portage installed 045 instead of 050. this caused my device node to be careated. i still don't have any /dev/usb nodes being created which is strange. i also do not know where udev is suppose to be logging to when loggin is turned on. is this in the syslog? i'm looking for something that shows:
1. this device added by the kernel,
2. searching x file for rules. found -> this rule to match, creating this node, that link.
3. or, didn't find a match, checking next file... etc.
this type of info would be extremely helpfull in doing udev rules. and troubleshooting. |

my rules have stopped working after upgrading to udev-051, /dev/sd* are created instead of /dev/usb* :
| Code: | BUS="usb", SYSFS{manufacturer}="SMSC", SYSFS{product}="USB FDC GOLD-1.11", NAME="usbfloppy", GROUP="usb"
KERNEL="sd?", SYSFS{range}="16", SYSFS{size}="250880", NAME=""
KERNEL="sd?1", SYSFS{start}="32", SYSFS{size}="250848", NAME="usbstick2", GROUP="usb"
KERNEL="sd?", SYSFS{range}="16", SYSFS{size}="2880", NAME="usbstick1", GROUP="usb"
KERNEL="sd?", SYSFS{range}="16", SYSFS{size}="490234753", NAME=""
KERNEL="sd?1", SYSFS{start}="63", SYSFS{size}="490223412", NAME="usbdisk", GROUP="usb" |
Nothing has changed except the udev version

| it's a nice concept, but it's the most unstable thing i've ever come across. udev that is. |
