 Posted: Mon Mar 20, 2017 12:10 am Post subject: CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER: should not be set. But it is |
 |
|
As the title sais. In emerge messages I have sometimes this message. I know this comes because in kernel config this is set. I would like to disable this option, but I can not find the location in menuconfig where I could disable this option.
if I search for this in menuconfig I will receive this
| Code: | │ Symbol: FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER [=y] │
│ Type : boolean │
│ Defined at drivers/base/Kconfig:151 │
│ Selected by: FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK [=n] && FW_LOADER [=y] || LEDS_LP55XX_COMMON [=m] && NEW_LEDS [=y] && (LEDS_LP5521 [=m] || LEDS_LP5523 [=m] || LEDS_LP5562 [=m] || LEDS_LP8501 [=m]) || DELL_RBU [=m] && X86 [=y] │
│ │

│ Symbol: FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK [=n] │

│ (1) -> Generic Driver Options │
│ Defined at drivers/base/Kconfig:154 │
│ Depends on: FW_LOADER [=y] │
│ Selects: FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER [=y] |
but there is no location described where to find it. so where to find this option in menuconfig?

| Per the output, you should find it in the menu Generic Driver Options, which you will find in the menu Device Drivers. However, it may be forced enabled by other choices you have made. |

littletux,
Notice that there is no Prompt in the search for FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER.
That tells that its an internal configuration symbol.
You only have control over the things that select it.
Selected by: | Code: | FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK [=n] && FW_LOADER [=y] ||
LEDS_LP55XX_COMMON [=m] && NEW_LEDS [=y] && (LEDS_LP5521 [=m] ||
LEDS_LP5523 [=m] ||
LEDS_LP5562 [=m] ||
LEDS_LP8501 [=m]) ||
DELL_RBU [=m] && X86 [=y] │ |
Those conditonals are logically ored together. FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER is selected if any of them are true.
The first one is already false because FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK [=n]
You need to turn off one or more in | Code: | | LEDS_LP55XX_COMMON [=m] && NEW_LEDS [=y] && (LEDS_LP5521 [=m] |
and all of
| Code: | LEDS_LP5523 [=m]
LEDS_LP5562 [=m]
LEDS_LP8501 [=m]
DELL_RBU [=m] |
The appear to be mostly under | Code: | | Device Drivers > LED Support |

@NeddySeagoon
Thanks for this explanation.
So next question is can I ignore this message, if I don't wan't disable the LED things?
because the message sais
| Code: | * CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER: should not be set. But it is.
* Please check to make sure these options are set correctly.
* Failure to do so may cause unexpected problems. |
and the last line let me feel bad |

littletux,
The userspace firmware loader was removed from udev a long time ago.
I don't know what that option does any more.
