Hi,

I have been trying to get support through gentoo channel but everybody has udev working properly.
So, after several days of work I still did not get it to work properly.
Can someone, experienced, please assist me?

Here is what is happening:
Current setup:
- Linux pc01 2.6.11-gentoo-r11 #6 Sun Jul 24 10:59:56 CEST 2005 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
- Udev: [ebuild R ] sys-fs/udev-058 (-selinux) -static 0 kB

Current default udev files:
- /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules
- /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions

My USB devices are:
a. USB Handheld Visor Neo;
b. USB LaserJet HP printer;
c. USB Scanner Epson Perfection 2400;
d. USB mouse Logitech M310;
e. USB Cherry keyboard;
f. USB Nikon LS-5000 Scanner;
g. USB Digital camera Fujifilm E550.

By default, mouse and keyboard work fine.
So, I plugged my handheld device in and no node was abailable. The same for my printer, .....
Is not true that UDEV in supposed to handle these devices and threfore create those nodes?

So, looking around, I based my thinking on this article (http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html)
Concluding, I have this setting in place:
Current default udev files:
- /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules
- /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
- /etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules

- /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions
- /etc/udev/permissions.d/10-udev.permissions

10-udev.permissions
Code:
# set Palm Pilot Read/Write
pilot*:root:usb:0666

# set /dev/hda DVD-ROM to Read Only
hda:root:cdrom:0660

# scanner devices
scanner:root:scanner:0660
usb/scanner*:root:scanner:0660


10-local.rules
Code:
BUS="usb", SYSFS{serial}="00CNGW54WG6L", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="printers/hp1320"


10-udev.rules
Code:
BUS="usb", SYSFS{serial}="0000:00:02.0", NAME="pilot"


With this setting, I am able to get my devices to work, although I have an issue with the handheld not always being available (using the cradle) and the printer with the tail of the printout on the printer side.

My problem, now, is that anything that I plug in is not accessible. As an example: i plug my fuji camera and is detected as sdc1 (I can see it in /var/log/messages) but it does not appear in fdisk -l and in dmesg.
How did I solve the issue, momentarily? I removed my custom rules and permissions, and now I can see my sdc1 BUT the other devices now do not work.

What on earth is wrong?
Please help me. I am desperate. :cry:

thank you,
Spiro

since udev-052 /etc/udev/permissions.d/* is useless ;)

also having 10-*.rules twice doesn't make any sense...
the files are read in chronical order 01..10..50 and have to end with .rules, that's all

and btw this doesn't have anything to do with 'Desktop Environments' and that kind of stuff... take a look at the kernel&hardware forum... tons of udev related threads there :P

Hi gimpel,

thank you for pointing out the appropriate thread position. I will keep in mind and surf for udev threads.

1)
Quote:
since udev-052 /etc/udev/permissions.d/* is useless

How come, if I create a new custom rule, it enables my scanner group to users, and instead if I remove it it does not? Also, as becoming useless, what has benn replaced with?

2) could you please propose a solution to my issue, if you can came up with one?

Thank you,
Spiro

that would be really strange. i still know that from the switch to udev > 0.52. and also the changelog tells it's not used anymore.

Sorry, i have no straight solution to your problem. i only have one usb based device, which is my printer and ever worked by default...

Hi,

I am going C R A Z Y :cry: :cry: :cry:

I had my palm pilot properly set with my UDEV rules.
Now, I have upgraded (via emerge -uD world) both udev and gentoo (amd64) and my rule does not work anymore.
What should I do, beside jump out of the Linux box?

Here is my UDEV rule (in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules)
Code:
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{product}=="Handspring Visor", KERNEL="ttyUSB1", NAME="visor", GROUP="users"

It was working before

Now, I can see the device, but when I query it with udevinfo, I get this, rather than the entire palm info:

Here some info I am able to obtain:

dmesg
Code:
visor 2-2:1.0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter detected

visor ttyUSB1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now disconnected from ttyUSB1

visor ttyUSB1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now disconnected from ttyUSB1


tail /var/log/messages

# udevinfo -p /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB1 -a
Code:
udevinfo starts with the device the node belongs to and then walks up the
device chain, to print for every device found, all possibly useful attributes
in the udev key format.
Only attributes within one device section may be used together in one rule,
to match the device for which the node will be created.

device '/sys/class/tty/ttyUSB1' has major:minor 188:1
  looking at class device '/sys/class/tty/ttyUSB1':
    SUBSYSTEM=="tty"
    SYSFS{dev}=="188:1"

follow the "device"-link to the physical device:
couldn't open device directory


How come now I get this error? I have not changed anything so far since my last time it was working.
follow the "device"-link to the physical device:
couldn't open device directory


Any kind of help is welcomed.

Thank you,
Spiro

udev is a broken down PoS. I'm tired of my cdrom and DVD drives going missing every time udev is updated (which is infrequently to begin with). I realize that, in theory, udev is a better method for handling devices dynamically. But in reality, it sucks sh!t. Drives shouldn't be inaccessible. This is annoying. :x

I'm going to have to consider making that notebook purchase an Apple one and be assimilated, simply because I want my cdrom drive to work. :cry:

Are you using a unstable version? I haven't had any problems in 5 or so updates when using the stable versions.

I don't know if it matters, but could the double equal signs be the problem?

Hi Headrushm,

no, double equals is fine. If you look into man udev they report some examples. Here some I took from man udev:
Code:
 A sample udev.rules file might look like this:

       # if /sbin/scsi_id returns "OEM 0815", the device will be called disk1
       BUS=="scsi", PROGRAM=="/sbin/scsi_id", RESULT=="OEM 0815", NAME="disk1"

       # USB printer to be called lp_color
       BUS=="usb", SYSFS{serial}=="W09090207101241330", NAME="lp_color"

       # SCSI disk with a specific vendor and model number will be called boot
       BUS=="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}=="IBM", SYSFS{model}=="ST336", NAME="boot%n"

       # sound card with PCI bus id 00:0b.0 to be called dsp
       BUS=="pci", ID=="00:0b.0", NAME="dsp"

       # USB mouse at third port of the second hub to be called mouse1
       BUS=="usb", ID=="2.3", NAME="mouse1"

       # ttyUSB1 should always be called pda with two additional symlinks
       KERNEL=="ttyUSB1", NAME="pda", SYMLINK="palmtop handheld"


Here is my current UDEV version: [ebuild R ] sys-fs/udev-058 (-selinux) -static 0 kB
It is marked stable.

Thanks,
Spiro

Let's do 1 device at a time.

Can you post your current 10-local.rules file?

I would suggest upgrading the the stable 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 kernel if possible also.

Hi,

I am upgrading now to your adviced gentoo-sources r9 version. Meanwile, I am posting what you asked.

Code:
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{product}=="Handspring Visor", KERNEL="ttyUSB1", NAME="visor", GROUP="users"
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="KanguruMicro", SYSFS{serial}="031B1A080089", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="usbpen", GROUP="users", MODE="0666"
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="USB Mass Storage", SYSFS{serial}="Y-764^^^^^040819XFPX0003003340", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="fujidcam", GROUP="users", MODE="0660"

One other thing before I post a udev-rules file?

Remove the custom 10-... udev rules file and the permissions file.
Issue a
Code:
udevstart


Now, can you post the lsusb output with the camera, scanner and usbstick attached? (no -v option needed)

When you hit the hotsync button on palm, what is the contents of
Code:
ls -l /dev/tts/*
ls -l /dev/USB*


After that I'll post a complete udev file and we can work from that.

Hi,

here is the answers (properly done after your note).

Check that lsmod would show the loaded module
Code:
visor                  19788  0
usbserial              28656  1 visor


Removed completely all custom rules from rules.d and permissions.d folders
Code:
total 20
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Aug 28 09:49 .
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 4096 Jul 14 22:05 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 8356 Jul 14 15:48 50-udev.rules


Then, I run
Code:
udevstart


Here is a series of tests from konsole with their output:

While the hotsink button is pushed:
a. # ls -l /dev/tts/*
Code:
crw-rw----  1 root tty 4, 64 Aug 28 09:55 /dev/tts/0
crw-rw----  1 root tty 4, 65 Aug 28  2005 /dev/tts/1
crw-rw----  1 root tty 4, 66 Aug 28  2005 /dev/tts/2
crw-rw----  1 root tty 4, 67 Aug 28  2005 /dev/tts/3
crw-rw----  1 root tty 4, 68 Aug 28  2005 /dev/tts/4
crw-rw----  1 root tty 4, 69 Aug 28  2005 /dev/tts/5
crw-rw----  1 root tty 4, 70 Aug 28  2005 /dev/tts/6
crw-rw----  1 root tty 4, 71 Aug 28  2005 /dev/tts/7

b. # ls -l /dev/USB*
Code:
ls: /dev/USB*: No such file or directory

c. /var/log/messages
Code:
usb 2-4: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 7

d. /sys/class/tty
# ls ttyUSB* -l

e. udevinfo
# udevinfo -a -p /sys/class/tty/ttyUSB1
Code:
udevinfo starts with the device the node belongs to and then walks up the
device chain, to print for every device found, all possibly useful attributes
in the udev key format.
Only attributes within one device section may be used together in one rule,
to match the device for which the node will be created.

device '/sys/class/tty/ttyUSB1' has major:minor 188:1
  looking at class device '/sys/class/tty/ttyUSB1':
    SUBSYSTEM=="tty"
    SYSFS{dev}=="188:1"

follow the "device"-link to the physical device:
couldn't open device directory


This is what I believe the problem:
couldn't open device directory

So, I hope I provided sufficient info.

Please advice...

PS: How to discover the node the kernel created for a device that shows up in dmesg or messages?

thank you,
Spiro

Sorry SAngeli, been a little behind on posting you a udev rule file.

I'll be back to my home machine later tonight. In the meantime you can check out https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-360012-highlight-palm.html where we worked out a similar thing.

Hi,

My theory was confirmed: UDEV rel 058 has some issues with USB Palm devices (at least with HandSpring Palm HandHeld Visor Neo).
Prior to my updating to rel 058, with the existing rules my Palm device was properly working, properly sinking.
Code:
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{product}=="Handspring Visor", KERNEL="ttyUSB1", NAME="visor", GROUP="users"

Only since/after rel 058 was implemented, I started experiencing difficulties. Need udev rule to create symlink [SOLVED] thread is another example.

So, I decided to upgrade from rel 058 to rel 068 and immediately /dev/ttyUSB1 worked.

Concluding, as far as I know, UDEV was the cause of malfunction.

* * * SOLUTION: Upgrade to latest UDEV version (> 068). * * *

Now, could you (Headrush) kindly:
a. check my rules?
Code:
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{product}=="Handspring Visor", KERNEL="ttyUSB1", NAME="visor", GROUP="users"
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="KanguruMicro", SYSFS{serial}="031B1A080089", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="usbpen", GROUP="users", MODE="0666"
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="USB Mass Storage", SYSFS{serial}="Y-764^^^^^040819XFPX0003003340", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="fujidcam", GROUP="users", MODE="0660"

b. teach me how, in general, to detect I assume under /sys any USB device I plug-in so that I can with # udevinfo -a -p query any device? (i.e.: cell phones, digital camera, printers, handy cams, ...)
c: how come /etc/udev/permissions.d after updates still exists as a folder and what would happen if I manually remove it for present and future updates? Will new UDEV release recreate it?
d. how to inform udev devel about this issue so that they won't repeat it again?

thank you for your kind assistance and reply.
Spiro

Unless absolutely needed, I try to keep my udev rules simple. I always leave NAME="%k" so I always have the original kernel device node, and then use SYMLINK to make the device I prefer and use when possible.
(Some programs are still hard-coded, hence why I keep the original kernel named devices.)

I find it easiest to use SYSFS{idVendor} and SYSFS{idProduct} whenever possible, instead of the other attributes.
These two attributes are easy to find using lsusb

To see examples and the different modifiers you can use in your udev rules (aka %n, %c) look at the man page:
Code:
man udev

Deleteting it won't hurt and leaving it won't matter either. Probably just hasn't been removed yet. (oversight)

Submit the bug to https://bugs.gentoo.org (the udev developers will see it)

Thank you Headrush for your assistance. :wink:

Any comment on this (is important for me to learn):

Also, is it BUS=="usb" or BUS="USB"?

Take care,

You've have to read the tutorial on the udev home page. Like you, I found searching in /sys a pain and was always able to find all the info I would need using
Code:
lsusb -v

I don't know, but I only use the BUS="usb".
