Bug 66634 – all devices missing from gnome with udev-034 (and 033)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alex Murray 2004-10-07 05:06:01 UTC]

After upgrading to udev-033, all my devices are missing in Gnome - I have no cd-drive, floppy etc etc...
Downgrading to udev-032 fixes this.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge udev-033 && etc-update
2. Rebooted and logged into Gnome
3. No devices show up under Computer...



Expected Results:  
Should have been visible..

Should have mentioned I am using Gnome 2.8 with hal & dbus also.

[Comment 2 E Smith 2004-10-07 21:20:21 UTC]

same here, no devices or hard drives listed, just the filesystem, using gnome-2.8 + hal + dbus

[Comment 3 Alex Murray 2004-10-07 22:18:44 UTC]

same again with udev-034..

[Comment 4 Peter Johanson (RETIRED) 2004-10-08 06:51:02 UTC]

Greg: Further info. I reverted to 032 again to check things out, and the DEVPATH is not set error messages from hal.hotplug are there as well. However with 032, devices are actually seen by hal, get mounted by gnome-volume-manager, etc.

So red herring there on the DEVPATH error, something else is afoot.

[Comment 5 Alex Murray 2004-10-09 19:08:33 UTC]

is this related to #66930?

[Comment 6 Greg Kroah-Hartman (RETIRED) 2004-10-09 20:53:44 UTC]

Alex, I bet it is.

But I don't see this problem right now, I have the latest udev, and hal and hal-device-manager, and I see all of my devices.

Oh, wait, yeah, if I make that symlink, I do see more stuff.

bah, I'll go fix up the udev package to put these files in the right spot, sorry
about this...

[Comment 7 Greg Kroah-Hartman (RETIRED) 2004-10-09 21:11:35 UTC]

Should now be fixed in 034-r1 release.

[Comment 8 Alex Murray 2004-10-10 02:32:46 UTC]

can confirm this seems to have fixed it - am getting a whole bunch of wait_for_sysfs errors on boot though.. for multiple /class/vc/vsc??

please send those errors to the email address listed in the error message.
