My /etc/udev/rules.d is empty? [SOLVED]

The other week i installed a virtal inviroment in QEMU, i read a little bit about writing udev-rules, in order to work with USB. but for some reason.. the folder in mentioned in the topic happends to be empty.. and it just strikes me, because when gogling the problem it seems that the people it happend to before, it also ment that the system didnt work, or worked really bad, but my system works fine.. Now, as i allready mentioned, i bumped in to this problem the other week. i have been searching for some obvious noskillmistake, but.. i gave up and just turned to you guys instead.

That folder is empty for me too, because I haven't put anything there.  Have you created files there that disappeared?  If not, what's the issue?  You say everything is working ... so what's the question?

  • [solved] /etc/udev/rules.d/10-network.rules ignored

    Hi.
    I have 4 nics (eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3) mapped to MAC addresses in  /etc/udev/rules.d/10-network.rules.
    Some months ago, I had to symlink /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules to /dev/null in order to use these static names.
    Now it doesn't work anymore (again and again and again) after a full update (kernel and I assume systemd).  The "nic-names" are completely wrong.  You call this "predictable". I call this "unpredictable". The only thing which is predictable is that after a kernel update, the network will stop working. It has been that way for months and months ... fortunately I don't update other machines anymore.
    Was this non sense really necessary?
    Anyway, if you could tell me what to do now to get my network rules applied again, I would really appreciate.
    Right now all ethX/MAC are wrong and none of them gets an IP (had to set an IP manually to post here).
    * I know what "predictable Network Interface Names" is about. I don't want this bullshit. It's much worse as it used to be. Keep it simple, folks!

    But the rules were applied in this case!
    It solved the problem described originally.  I think I was hit by the race condition after upgrating to kernel 3.8.4-1. This was actually my first 3.8 kernel.
    With kernel 3.7, the rules were working even if the devices were named eth0, eth1, etc.
    Those names don't work anymore, at least in my case.
    Further I  created this file for static ips:

  • Are /etc/udev/rules.d/86-hpmud* files obsolete?

    For a while now, I keep getting the following errors during boot:
    Sat Jan 21 14:25:13 2012: udevd[148]: unknown key 'SYSFS{idVendor}' in /etc/udev/rules.d/86-hpmud-hp_laserjet_professional_p1102w.rules:9

    ... (repeat for every 86-hpmud-* file in that folder)
    I found an (ancient) bug report from 2009 with the subject "hplip: obsolete udev rules files are not removed on upgrades", so I assume they're obsolete, but I've only recently starting seeing this problem, which wouldn't jive with a 3-year old issue.
    Can I safely delete these files, assuming that their contents has been replaced with entries in the /lib/udev/rules.d tree? I am not that well-versed in udev, unfortunately....

    OK - I backed them up and moved them out of /etc/udev/rules.d.
    Confirming nothing broke is a bit of a problem right now. Printing is hit & miss from my laptop to my wireless HP P1102w printer at the best of times. I haven't figured out what the real issue is there, but since printing to other HPs works fine, I'll probably have to blame the printer or HPLIP. I wish HP would simplify their software and made simple drivers. I just need to print, I don't need all that hp-toolbox junk. I'll confirm this when I have a chance to print to a different HP printer.

  • 3 unable to open '/etc/udev/rules.d/':m error during booting

    After a recent upgrade to the kernel26-2.6.28.5-1-i686, I got the above error during booting in one of the laptop.
    My search did not give any positive solution for this till now. I read that now udev gets its rules from /lib/udev/rules.d.
    But still rules files in /etc/udev/rules.d and /lib/udev/rules.d are different. I know that any symllink work around will not work in this case, I tried but as  expected the error message appears again.
    So, I roll back to kernel26-2.6.28.4-1-i686 and everything back to normal.
    Any Idea to resolve this? (package is not broken as I use the same mirror for another PC and in that I am not getting any error)
    Last edited by kgas (2009-02-19 16:10:23)

    This issue got resolved on its own with the latest kernel (kernel26-2.6.28.6-1-i686) update. I will leave this topic for some more time to see others response...

  • Oh god I overwrote /etc/udev/rules.d/90-hal.rules

    If it was something in that directory, the sizes should be different than mine. This is what I have:

  • [SOLVED] udev rule no longer working

    I have a udev rule set up to automatically mount an ext4 filesystem when I plug a certain thumb drive in.  It was working fine until yesterday (probably due to updates).  Here is the rule, in file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-gfk.rules:
    KERNEL=="sd?2", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0930", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6545", ATTRS{serial}=="1C6F654E4041ED601910053F", SYMLINK+="gfshare"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd?2", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0930", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6545", ATTRS{serial}=="1C6F654E4041ED601910053F", RUN+="/bin/mkdir /media/gfshare"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd?2", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0930", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6545", ATTRS{serial}=="1C6F654E4041ED601910053F", RUN+="/bin/mount -t ext4 -o ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime /dev/gfshare /media/gfshare"
    The symlink and the mkdir command are both working fine, but the mount command is not being run for some reason.  If I manually run the mount command it works fine.  Some possibly helpful output:

    I see.  That is somewhat aggravating but I will find another way to achieve what I wanted I suppose.
    Thank you.  Should I mark this is solved or unsolvable or something?  Sorry, I'm new to posting on these forums.
    Edit:  I was able to achieve what I wanted with udevil as recommended by the wiki.

  • [SOLVED] udev rule launch graphical app

    How can I make a udev rule launch a graphical application, like, for instance, feh?
    I've tried creating a rule detects when a specific mass storage device is connected and executes a script (/root/.scripts/feh-camera.sh). The script exports DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY and everything seems to work.
    However when I restarted a black screen appeared right after Loading Modules (that appears after Starting udev events). Removing the udev rule solved the problem, so I must be doing something wrong.
    What's the right way of doing this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Device was not connected at boot but I'll try what you suggested anyway. Thanks for your help.
    EDIT:
    It's solved. It turns out the underlying problem was that exporting DISPLAY breaks the udev environment. For future reference solved it with:
    45-foobar.rules
    ATTRS{product}=="DSLR-A330", ATTR{removable}=="1", ENV{REMOVE_CMD}="/bin/umount /media/camera", RUN+="/bin/mount <bla bla>", RUN+="/bin/su vieira -c '/etc/udev/rules.d/45-foobar.sh'"
    and the script, where the problem was, must not export anything, just set inline, i.e.
    #!/bin/sh
    HOME=/home/vieira DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/feh -r /mnt/camera

  • [SOLVED]Udevd fails to recognize rules in /lib/udev/rules.d

    These errors have appeared since the 24th of October (the last marked update day for the udev package).  I'm also slightly concerned about the first 4 lines, where udevd "starts" version 173 and then version 174.  According to pacman -Q udev, only version 174 is installed.
    Upon investigating the folder, I find that all the "missing" files are present:

    Can anyone confirm this?  If I get confirmation that this is indeed present for other users (and a bug, not a "feature"), I'll open a bug report for the udev package.
    Also, semi-related, in the post-install message from the udev package they refer you to the folder /etc/udev.d/rules, however, that directory structure doesn't exist on my system, and the old /etc/udev/rules.d is still present.
    I'd appreciate any information or input.  If any further information is required, I'll gladly supply it.

  • [Solved] Auto-open a file manager after mounting with udev rules

    Hellooooo,
    I followed the udev Wiki for auto mounting USBs and it now works great.
    The only problem is: how can I automatically open a file manager of the mounted directory? I tried putting this at the end of the "ACTION=="add"," section in "/etc/udev/rules.d/11-media-by-label-auto-mount.rules" but for some reason nothing happens:
    , RUN+="/usr/bin/dolphin /media/%E{dir_name}"
    Even if I just try to open dolphin with the "ACTION=="add"," section nothing happens either way.
    So what am I doing wrong?

    In that case, the best choice in my opinion is to use Automounting UDisks Wrappers :
    devmon is a script developed by IgnorantGuru. He left Arch Linux, but the package in AUR is still there and is the last version. For a future new release, it should be available at his blog site. The script is distro independent.
    My udisksvm script, in its default state, doesn't launch a file manager after automounting, but it is not a big thing to let the automounting be done and then manually open a file manager (a new entry in the traydevice right-click menu can also be added for that).
    If you can do without automounting, there is also the bashmount script from jnguyen.
    All these scripts don't require writing any udev rules, they use udisks instead.
    I hope you could find something you like and which will suit your wishes.

  • Writing udev rules [SOLVED]

    Hi guys.
    I'm on a mission to run win7 on QEMU, and I also want to be able to use my USB-ports. Now, archwiki tells me to do this:
    $ qemu-system-i386 -usbdevice host:vendor_id:product_id disk_image
    You can find vendor_id and product_id of your device with lsusb command.
    Note: If you encounter permission errors when running QEMU, see Udev#Writing udev rules for information on how to set permissions of the device.
    I then made a file called 10-adm.rules both in, /etc/udev/rules.d and /usr/lib/udev/rules.d
    In it I wrote:
    KERNEL=="sdc[0-9]*",  GROUP="storage"
    My user with wich i lauch QEMU is in the group storage, and my usb always turns out as sdc*.
    But it still gives me the permission erros.

    now I renamed the files to 99 instead of 10, and I even overkilled it with the GROUP:= instead of GROUP=
    tried:
    udevadm control --reload-rules
    udevadm trigger
    But it still doesnt work
    lsusb gives me:

  • [SOLVED] udev rules: cannot run command

    I want to run a scipt everytime I plug in my external harddrive. I read the documentation and create a file called /etc/udev/rules.d/extern_hd.rules:
    SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", SYSFS{serial}=="33504D315647585A", SYMLINK+="ExternHD", RUN+="/root/scripts/test.sh"
    The symlink "ExternHD" gets created. The permissions of test.sh are rwxr-xr-x root root, but it never gets executed. What am I doing wrong?
    Last edited by Kei (2007-09-18 11:30:35)

    Solution was easy... Udev doesn't want to start anything from within /root, so I put a hardlink to /usr/local/bin/ and now everything works fine.

  • [SOLVED] automatic usb-backup with udev-rules + script

    I would like to have my usb-harddrive automatically start a backup as soon as it is plugged in.  And finally a bell is supposed to ring.
    I've created an udev-rule and a backup-script as shown below.
    However, instead of creating /dev/backup-drive first something strange is happening:
    The bell rings 3 times, followed by the backup, followed by a 4th ring.
    What's going on?
    Here's may udev-rule:
    ## /etc/udev/rules.d/95-backup.rules
    SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS {serial}=="100", SYMLINK=="backup-drive", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/backup-thumb.sh"
    fstab:
    /dev/backup-drive    /media/backup   ext3     rw,user    0 0
    and my script:
    #!/bin/bash
    sleep 10
    rsync -vrtolgh --exclude '/.VirtualBox/' --delete /home/myhome /media/backup-drive
    aplay /usr/share/sounds/phone.wav
    Last edited by mehldutt (2007-07-03 20:28:27)

    The syntax of your udev rule is all wrong - for example after SYMLINK you should use "+=" or ":=". "==" is for comparing to some value.
    I think in rsync command line you want -H not -h (help) option. Also -v (verbose) is useless since you'll never see the output.
    Another thing which will prevent running rsync properly is /media/backup-drive while you use /media/backup in fstab.
    I suggest that you first try running rsync command from the command line "manually" and try if it works at all. After you'll make it work try the below suggestions.
    Another problem: what makes the backup drive mounted under /media/backup directory when you plug it into usb slot ? Are you doing it somehow "manually" in the 10 second period after plugging ? Do you use automounter of some kind ?
    If you intend to use ext3 as the backup drive filesystem you should also add sync command after rsync to make sure no data stays in RAM cache.
    I think you need to read udev manpage first.
    I can also advice you to read my udev rules for automounting usb devices (it's for any type of filesystem and any number of partitions):
    KERNEL=="sd[b-z]", NAME:="%k", SYMLINK+="usbhd-%k", GROUP:="users", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", SYMLINK+="usbhd-%k", GROUP:="users", NAME:="%k"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/mkdir -p /media/usbhd-%k"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/ln -s /media/usbhd-%k /mnt/usbhd-%k"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", PROGRAM=="/lib/udev/vol_id -t %N", RESULT=="vfat", RUN+="/bin/mount -t vfat -o rw,noauto,flush,dirsync,noexec,nodev,noatime,dmask=000,fmask=111 /dev/%k /media/
    usbhd-%k", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/mount -t auto -o rw,noauto,async,dirsync,noexec,nodev,noatime /dev/%k /media/usbhd-%k", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/rm -f /mnt/usbhd-%k"
    ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/umount -l /media/usbhd-%k"
    ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd[b-z][0-9]", RUN+="/bin/rmdir /media/usbhd-%k", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    I think it could be simplified and modified for your backup device like this:
    SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS(idVendor)=="XXXX", ATTRS(idProduct)=="YYYY", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", NAME:="%k", SYMLINK:="backupdevice", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS(idVendor)=="XXXX", ATTRS(idProduct)=="YYYY", ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]1", SYMLINK:="backuppartition", GROUP:="users", NAME:="%k"
    SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS(idVendor)=="XXXX", ATTRS(idProduct)=="YYYY", ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]1", RUN+="/bin/mount -t auto -o rw,noauto,async,dirsync,noexec,nodev,noatime /dev/%k /media/backup-drive"
    SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS(idVendor)=="XXXX", ATTRS(idProduct)=="YYYY", ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]1", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/backup-thumb.sh", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS(idVendor)=="XXXX", ATTRS(idProduct)=="YYYY", ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]1", RUN+="/bin/umount -l /media/backup-drive", OPTIONS="last_rule"
    assuming that you have a single partition backup drive formatted as ext3 (or at least it's the first partition).
    Also another assumption is that idVendor and idProduct are unique to your backup drive. If not you should add some extra ATTRS parameters that will ensure this combination is unique.
    The directory /media/backup-drive must already exist (remove your fstab line - it's not needed in this case because mount command is run directly from the udev rule).
    Replace all XXXX and YYYY with the values from lsusb for your backup device - plug it in, run lsusb and copy values which look like XXXX:YYYY near to the name of your backup device.
    Anyway, you can play with different options and try to modify it yourself. The automounting rules work for me very well for some time (including flush option). The backup rules you need to test yourself :-)

  • [Solved] udev rules: serial for persistent device naming disappeared

    Hello,
    since the latest upgrade of udev and kmod I cant't mount my external e-SATA hard disk with my working udev rules.
    This is my udev rule:
    $ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/66-persistent_esata.rules
    KERNEL=="sd?1", SUBSYSTEMS=="block", ENV{ID_SERIAL_SHORT}=="S1VSJ1LS301247", NAME="aluguard"
    When plugged in, I could decrypt and mount it with "sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/aluguard aluguard && mount /mnt/aluguard".
    Since the update above I get "Device /dev/aluguard doesn't exist or access denied."
    While I re-checked https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ma … _with_udev, I discovered, that the serial entry in the output of udevadm has vanished:
    $ udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/sdg)
    Udevadm info starts with the device specified by the devpath and then
    walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device
    found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format.
    A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device
    and the attributes from one single parent device.

    OK, there is the serial.... but the problem persists - udev doesn't execute the rule and doesn't create /dev/aluguard.

  • [solved] My udev rule for my Android phone doesn't work, not sure why

    I have the HTC G1 Android phone and I'm trying to get a udev rule working for it.  This is my rule ...
    /etc/udev/rules.d/50-android.rules
    SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666", NAME=="android"
    ... but when I connect my phone, /dev/android doesn't appear.  0bb4 is correct ...
    /sys/class/usb_device/usbdev5.2/device/idVendor
    0bb4
    ... so what's going on?

    There is, but I can already use it that way.  I'm learning how to code in java so I can develop applications for it.  There's a feature in the SDK where you can install and run your code on your Android device fairly seamlessly.  You literally hit "Run" and a few moments later, your phone's going to town.  But for this to work, permissions need to be set (0666).  But my udev rule does nothing and I dont understand why.
    This is where I got this information: http://code.google.com/android/intro/de … cehardware

  • [solved] udev-rules for bluetooth PCMCIA

    My plan:
    get my bluetooth-PCMCIA card to work:
    CONCEPTONIC CBT100C
    Problem:
    I have to issue the following command for it to work:
    #hciattach ttyS0 bcsp
    Therefor I wrote following udev-rule that doesn't work:
    ##/etc/udev/rules.d/05-bluez-pcmcia-support.rules
    SUBSYSTEMS=="pcmcia", ATTRS{prod_id2}=="Bluetooth Card", RUN+="/usr/sbin/hciattach ttyS0 bcsp"
    My Question:
    Could someone explain to me why this rule does not work?

    I called it
    05-bluez-pcmcia-support.rules
    I rebooted but still no success.
    I also tried this:
    ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEMS=="pcmcia", ATTRS{prod_id2}=="Bluetooth Card", RUN+="aplay /usr/share/sounds/phone.wav"
    But still no success

Maybe you are looking for
