[HARDY] 40-permissions.rules not used by udev

[enguerran]

On a up to date hardy, I use a /etc/udev/rules.d/45-tuxdroid.rules to launch two deamons when some usb device is plugged.

My /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules contains those lines :
# USB devices (usbfs replacement)
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0664"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", GROUP="usb", MODE="0664"

But when the usb device is plugged, it gets the wrong permissions and my two previous deamons can't launch.

Have you checked using "udevmonitor" if the events are like you expect them to be and to debug this in general?

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

Your rules are for an older kernel than the one in Hardy.

You will need to make a similar change to that as has been made in 40-permissions.rules, ie. instead of matching SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device" you need to match SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device"

e.g.

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{devtype}=="usb_device", SYSFS{idVendor}=="03eb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2ffd", MODE:="0666"

Hi,

thanks for the tip.
Anyway, I made the neccessary change to my 45-tuxdroid.rules, but it doesn't help.
My deamons aren't launch :/

Here is to ouput of udevmonitor when I plug my USB device :
udevmonitor will print the received events for:
UDEV the event which udev sends out after rule processing
UEVENT the kernel uevent

Here is the ouptut of a "udevmonitor --environment", when I plug my usb device.

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

Err, sorry, replace SYSFS in above with ATTRS

[enguerran (enguerrangillet)]

Made those changes too.
My new 45-tuxdroid.rules is joined.

I still can't get my daemons run.

Thanks for your precious help (especially Scott) !

[Scott James Remnant (Canonical) (canonical-scott)]

The rules must be copied precisely.

It's ENV{DEVTYPE} not ENV{devtype}

[enguerran (enguerrangillet)]

You are right. This finally works.
I invalid the bug.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to explain.

[enguerran (enguerrangillet)]

It's was not udev bug.
As Scott James Remnant pointed out, the 45-tuxdroid.rules I used were for an older kernel. So I just had to update it.
