Hi all, I do not know anything about udev apart from the fact that this is the one which is responsible for seeing all and any external devices as well as hdd's etc.
I had got the following errors/warnings after the new udev 168-1 install. udevd [112] exec. of program 'net.agent' failed. udevd [157] exec. of program 'net.agent' failed. udevd [177] exec. of program 'cdrom_id --export /dev/hda' failed. Writing for /dev to be fully populated udevd [769] exec of program 'mtp-probe/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d/usb3/3-2 3 2' failed I googled a bit and found this :- http://silverwav.wordpress.com/2010/04/14/note-udevcdrom_id/ Tried the same and it works/worked on my system with the change from cdrom to cdrom1. $ /lib/udev/cdrom_id --debug /dev/cdrom1 main: probing: '/dev/cdrom1' cd_inquiry: INQUIRY: [HL-DT-ST][DVD-RAM GH22NP20][1.04] cd_profiles: current profile 0x11 feature_profile_media: profile 0x11 media_dvd_r cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: size of features buffer 0x0168 cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: size of features buffer 0x0168 cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 'profiles', with 14 entries feature_profiles: profile 0x12 dvd_ram feature_profiles: profile 0x2b dvd_plus_r_dl feature_profiles: profile 0x1b dvd_plus_r feature_profiles: profile 0x1a dvd_plus_rw feature_profiles: profile 0x16 <ignored> feature_profiles: profile 0x15 <ignored> feature_profiles: profile 0x14 dvd_rw feature_profiles: profile 0x13 dvd_rw feature_profiles: profile 0x11 <ignored> feature_profiles: profile 0x10 dvd_rom feature_profiles: profile 0x0a cd_rw feature_profiles: profile 0x09 cd_r feature_profiles: profile 0x08 cd_rom feature_profiles: profile 0x02 <ignored> cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0001 <ignored>, with 0x08 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0002 <ignored>, with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0003 <ignored>, with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0004 <ignored>, with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0010 <ignored>, with 0x08 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x001d <ignored>, with 0x00 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x001e <ignored>, with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x001f <ignored>, with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0020 <ignored>, with 0x0c bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0021 <ignored>, with 0x08 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0023 <ignored>, with 0x08 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0024 <ignored>, with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0026 <ignored>, with 0x00 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x002a <ignored>, with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x002b <ignored>, with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x002c <ignored>, with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x002d <ignored>, with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x002e <ignored>, with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x002f <ignored>, with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0033 <ignored>, with 0x08 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x003b <ignored>, with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0100 <ignored>, with 0x00 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0103 <ignored>, with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0104 <ignored>, with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0105 <ignored>, with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0106 <ignored>, with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0107 <ignored>, with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x0108 <ignored>, with 0x08 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x010a <ignored>, with 0x0c bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x010b <ignored>, with 0x04 bytes cd_profiles: GET CONFIGURATION: feature 0x010c <ignored>, with 0x10 bytes info_scsi_cmd_err: READ TOC failed with SK=5h/ASC=24h/ACQ=00h cd_media_info: disk type 00 cd_media_info: hardware reported media status: blank ID_CDROM=1 ID_CDROM_CD=1 ID_CDROM_CD_R=1 ID_CDROM_CD_RW=1 ID_CDROM_DVD=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_R=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_RW=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_RAM=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_PLUS_R=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_PLUS_RW=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_PLUS_R_DL=1 ID_CDROM_MRW=1 ID_CDROM_MRW_W=1 ID_CDROM_MEDIA=1 ID_CDROM_MEDIA_DVD_R=1 ID_CDROM_MEDIA_STATE=blank ID_CDROM_MEDIA_SESSION_NEXT=1 ID_CDROM_MEDIA_SESSION_COUNT=1 ID_CDROM_MEDIA_TRACK_COUNT=1 just to know what that /dev/hda issue was all about, /dev$ ll hda brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 3, 0 Apr 28 03:44 hda I am guessing that's an entry for cdrom drive as :/dev$ ll sda brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Apr 27 15:10 sda I do see that /lib/udev/net.agent is also there but seems to have no documentation (a side issue) $ /lib/udev/net.agent --help Bad net.agent invocation: $INTERFACE is not set $ /lib/udev/cdrom_id --help Usage: cdrom_id [options] <device> --export export key/value pairs --debug debug to stderr --help print this help text I hope somebody can help me in figuring out things. The other error :- udevd [47] unable to write to /run/udev instead writing to /dev/.udev I am guessing while go away when the initscripts 2.88dsf-13.5 from experimental comes to unstable. A part of the transition is having the /run directory. http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/RunDirectory But other ones (cdromid, net.agent) have no idea what recurrpersions would be. Looking forward for info. or any weblinks to read to understand the change. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
