 Posted: Sat Jan 20, 2007 5:15 am Post subject: libgphoto2 udev Rule Errors on Boot [Solved] |
 |
|
Last night I emerged digikam, which obviously included the gphoto2 libraries as a dependancy. Everything complied fine, digikam works great.
After rebooting my system, I see the following errors (repeated about 1000 times) during boot when it's doing the udev stuff:
| Code: |
udevd[11294]: add_to_rules: unknown key 'ATTRS{idVendor}', in 'ATTRS{idVendor}'
udevd[11294]: add_to_rules: unknown key 'ATTRS{idProduct}', in 'ATTRS{idVendor}'
udevd[11294]: add_to_rules: unknown key 'ATTRS{idVendor}', in 'ATTRS{idVendor}'
udevd[11294]: add_to_rules: unknown key 'ATTRS{idProduct}', in 'ATTRS{idVendor}'
|
After doing some searching, I discovered that libgphoto added:
| Code: |
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-libgphoto2.rules
|
Inside the file, it lists all the different digital cameras that gphoto2 supports. I'm guessing that during boot it's trying to either search for or process the rules for all these cameras.
Is this normal? This is the first time I've used gphoto.

Think it needs to be updated? |

| Either that or move /etc/udev/rules.d/99-libgphoto2.rules aside until udev gets updated. |

Any reason why I shoudn't update udev? I finally got my system working exactly the way I want it so I'm not in the mood to break anything 
I noticed that udev and coldplug block eachother. After some more reading it seems that the new stable version of udev makes coldplug extinct and I can saftley unmerge it and rely on udev for coldplugging? |

None that I know of.

It should be quite safe, backup the packages to be sure. |

I'm having the same errors. But I'm on AMD64 and stable udev is still at 087-r1 here. Is there some issue with udev 103 that doesn't work on AMD64?

libgphoto2 is adding some rules to udev to make (known) Camera-Devices accessible by users in "plugdev"-Group.
So move ist out there, upgrade your System or take the errors. |

I have an AMD64 3700+, I ran into this same problem last week. Updating to the 1.0.x udev corrected the boot messages without any side complications.
You might want to run 'revdep-rebuild -ip' afterwards just to verify the sanity of the installed software but it should be a big deal.
that being said, i haven't actually tried plugging my camera into the comp since.... |

Okay, thanks. Mine is only a 3200+, but it should work too...

This is really old, but...
After upgrading udev, I popped the rules back in and they work fine. |
