Debian Hardware :: Move To Udev Affecting Keyboard? Shift Enabled
Jan 30, 2010
Recently I have noticed that at times my keyboard will act as though shift is pressed. That is, letters are capitalized and when i press a key, its shift equivalent is shown. I actually first noticed this behaviour on fedora 12 beta (i believe fedora has been using udev/DeviceKit since F11). At the time of F12 beta I was not aware of fedora using udev. Where can I find a comprehensive guide to setup udev? Or if it all fails, how to re-enable settings in xorg?
Here is what cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -A 5 -B 5 evdev shows
(II) Initializing extension GLX
record: RECORD extension enabled at configure time.
record: This extension is known to be broken, disabling extension now..
record: [URL]
(II) config/udev: Adding input device "Power Button" (/dev/input/event3)
(II) LoadModule: "evdev"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so
(II) Module evdev: vendor="X.Org Foundation" .....

on desktop, my mouse works normal. i can open programs normally, BUT, when i try to click inside some window, pointer turns into closed hand, that symbols dragging. i can move the window that way, but can't click anything except when holding shift, alt or ctrl.it's probably my fault, but i don't remember pressing anything different than usually. oh, and, it started in the middle of the session, i tried to reboot several times, tried recovery too, after that updated but no help there.i was looking for solution on google but can't find anything for days, i cant think of anything but reinstallation

I think this might be related to the changes to using udev or DeviceKit. It started when I was running the beta versions of F12. Then it crept into Debian Sid. And my Arch Testing and Gentoo also suffer from the same.
What happens is that I'll be working along. Then when I press any key it is as if the SHIFT key is pressed. When I press CAPSLOCK, some of the keys react as they would normally. This never lasts for more than 5 minutes. And seems to happen infrequently. I say seems because there are the times I am at work and it could be that the same thing is happening only there is no one on the keyboard.
The reason I pick out udev/DeviceKit is that when it used to happen to F12 beta, the other distros had not yet made the move. So back then it was only a F12 issue. Now it is happening across the board. And only started recently.

So Ive had this issue off and on for a while now, but have never really looked to see if others have had it or how I can fix it. Essentially the problem is that kde seems to randomly decide that I am holding down the shift or ctrl key.Im using a logitech cordless desktop s510, running openSUSE 11.3 x86_64. Ive had this problem on and off using a couple of different logitech keyboards. The most often time when it happens with the shift key is when im coding, and the control key when Im running a keyboard shortcut.
I can usually fix the issue by holding down the key that kde thinks is pressed for like 5-10 seconds and releasing, however sometimes I have to unplug and then replug in the usb adapter for kde to get things right. This doesnt happen if im running a non-graphical terminal (thouhg I cant say whether it happens in gnome as I dont have gnome installed) so I am thinking its related to kde. The keyboard can be plugged into other computers and they dont act the same way.
This gets esspecially annoying when Im coding (because of all the symbols) and generally when the issue occurs. I think it may have something to do with the key being pressed for over a certain length.

I was reading about udev. And being a newbie I am, I executed the following command rather foolishly: Code: #apt-get install udev Little did I know that this will render my mouse and keyboard not working next time I boot into Ubuntu. I booted into recovery mode and the keyboard is working fine in that mode.

I am writing a udev rule for my apple keyboard. I cannot get a working symlink because it shows up as two /dev/input/eventX device nodes, one which shows activity when I 'cat' it, the other which does not. The symlink usually points to the "dead" one.

how to use Del & Shift+Del. I need to disable Trash so every time I hit "Del" (without Shift), Gnome must ask me "Do you really want to delete the file completely?". How do I do it? Linux Mint 8, Gnome.

On my main PC (10.04) I have Alt+1,Alt+2 etc configured to jump to that specific workspace and ctrl+Alt+1,ctrl+alt+2 etc to move the focused window to the specific workspace and it works fine. Trying to replicate that on my netbook (11.04/unity) however fails. I can set the keyboard shortcuts up to switch to different workspaces but the shortcuts to move a window to a specific workspace just dont seem to work. The default RSI inducing default ctrl+shift+alt+(up,down,left & right) to move a window to an adjacent workspace does however. Is this specific to my install? If not how do i file a bug report?

As you know it is possible to move the mouse pointer with the numlock keys on a standard keyboard. I would like to know what are the commands for moving the pointer up, down, right, and left? I plan to reprogram different keys/shortcuts to do those mouse functions instead of the numlock keys.

In the kde realm, with the dolphin file browser, I can open a terminal in whatever folder is in the gui by using the shift and f4 keys. I'd like to be able to accomplish the same in gnome with the nautilus file browser but can't figure out how to do same. So far I have to open a terminal and then cd to the desired folder. Or do I have to use some other file browser and which one?

Is it possible to run kde in Wheezy without udev? I am asking this because the modesetting failure is manifested as soon as udev tries to populate the /dev directory.

I'm trying to run a script when a sd card is inserted into the drive. my udev rules are as follows:
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sd*", SYSFS{serial}=="058F63356336", NAME="sdcard", RUN+="/bin/mount /dev/sdcard"
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sd*", SYSFS{serial}=="058F63356336", OPTIONS+="last_rule", RUN+="/home/user/test"
The first line works, naming the device as "sdcard" and mounting it in the correct location. The second line should run a simple script to write a file with some text in it. If I run the script it works so I'm assuming it's not being done by udev but I done know why.

I was trying to install recent updates, but apt-get couldn't do this. Here's the output I got:

Now I can't continue upgrading because every time it tries to finish the previous update and fails to process udev.
I don't know if it's relevant, but while upgrading udev for the first time, my laptop switched to tty1 on its own. When I switched it back to graphic subsystem, it still was in process of upgrading udev or systemd and after all failed to finish.

I have a problem copying my udev rules from other distro to another pc running debian. My box is running debian without any DE and I want my USB disks to be automounted based on the label; I believe udev is the nicest way to do this task.
Anyways : my rules are (copied from archlinux wiki btw)
cat /etc/udev/rules.d/92-my-media-automount.rules
# vim:enc=utf-8:nu:ai:si:et:ts=4:sw=4:ft=udevrules:
# /etc/udev/rules.d/92-my-media-automount.rules
# Only work on sd*
KERNEL!="sd[a-z]*", GOTO="my_media_automount_end"
ACTION=="add", PROGRAM!="/sbin/blkid %N", GOTO="my_media_automount_end" .....
I notice the directory is made successfully up inserting the usb HD, but the mount doesn't succeed. If I manually execute above command, the mount goes ok.

I am using Debian Squeeze on my laptop an now I want to write udev rules. I bought an USB enclosure for my old Desktop HDD drive (Debian lenny ). But when I plug it in only the first primary partition gets mounted so I can not copy the data from my old desktop to the laptop. the output of mount shows that the following disk was mounted/dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal)
I can cd into /media/disk/etc and cat fstab shows the following:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

I have SSD drives without SCT support, because of this I want to tune /sys/block/device-name/device/timeout in order to force mdadm put these drives offline. So, I can see my drive like this:
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-OCZ-SABER1000_A22MJ061512000074.
Where can I tune /sys/block/device-name/device/timeout from 30 to 7 sec only for these drive? I don't want to use rc.local.
Can I create right udev rules for it in /etc/udev/rules.d?
I want to avoid any conflict with /lib/udev/rules.d.
Code: Select all# udevadm monitor --environment --udev
monitor will print the received events for:
UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing
UDEV [9302.549485] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.2/0000:03:00.0/host0/target0:0:0 (scsi)

I'm trying to allow non-root account to use avrdude to program mucrocontrollers. There are many articles online about how to do that, but it seems not to work for me. Every time i try to execute avrdude it says "permission denied". Here's "$ udevadm info --name=/dev/bus/usb/002/011 --attribute-walk" says looking at device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb2/2-1':
KERNEL=="2-1"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb"
DRIVER=="usb"
ATTR{configuration}==""
[code]....
However, after restarting udev, replugging the device, even rebooting the computer I still get "permission denied". The Vendor and Product match, so what's the problem?

I've just installed 'Testing' on a VMware server and after I completed the install with no problems, the system booted into the kernel and I noticed the following start up process error:
Code:
startpar: service(s) returned failure: udev...failure!!!
I have not seen this before and am not sure if it's related to the fact that this is a virtual machine and not a physical server or something else. Here is a Screenshot.

I should create a sqeeze image and install it on other computers.Udev should detect network card (NIC) module and load it automatically at startup.How I understand /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules runs when udev starts, then writes to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.The problem is, udev searches for this NIC on other hardware and the network cannot start.I can solve this problem easily using a startup script to delete /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file.

im using Debian (lenny) with 2.6.26 kernel, I'm trying to write udev rules in order to automount my usb pendrive, so I added this rules in udev:
SUBSYSTEM=="block", SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi",ATTRS{vendor}=="OTi ",
ATTRS{model}=="Flash Disk ", NAME="penna128M",RUN="/usr/bin/
pmount /dev/penna128M"
I use pmount to install the device as normal user If i connect my device to the usb port I don't see nothing in /media/penna128M, BUT giving at the prompt cat /etc/mtab the last line is:
/dev/penna128M /media/penna128M vfat rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0
The line in fstab about this pendrive is:
/dev/penna128M /media/penna128Mvfatdefaults,user,owner,auto00

I have just bought a DVB-T usb dongle to watch some TV. The software I'm using is vdr, which has to be started through the /etc/init.d/vdr service. I have created a udev script that executes the service on device insertion. It works nicely, however now when I boot up the computer it takes ages to get to desktop. I believe it is because of the WAIT_FOR part. But without this part, the service starts too soon because the usb dongle has been inserted but the firmware has not finished loading. Can someone point out an alternative way to do it? The script is here [URL].
