 Posted: Sun Feb 04, 2007 5:42 pm Post subject: Does hotplug require a symlink in /etc/hotplug.d/default... |
 |
|
Hi, all...
I'm concerned about the udev hotplug function of my gentoo machine. Reading through the Gentoo udev Guide I find: | Quote: | udev
Every time the kernel notices an update in the device structure, it calls the /sbin/hotplug program. Hotplug runs the applications linked in the /etc/hotplug.d/default directory where you will also find a symlink to the udev application. |
The problem is, my /etc/hotplug.d/default directory contains no symlink as suggested: | Code: |
# ls -l /etc/hotplug.d/default/
total 4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2931 Feb 4 09:53 default.hotplug
|
My question is why it's lacking, is something incorrect with the hotplug & udev setup, and what's the consequence?
Anyone with insight on this?
Thanks!

$ ls -l /etc/hotplug.d/default/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Jan 22 2006 20-hal.hotplug -> /usr/libexec/hal.hotplug

Question... Did you put the symlink in manually, or, if not, what software installed it?
Thanks!

no I never did that, not sure... I would assume hal or hotplug did.

Does anyone have the correct information about the need for /etc/hotplug.d/default/ to contain 20-hal.hotplug -> /usr/libexec/hal.hotplug?
Thanks!
