Package: udev
Version: 0.114-2
Severity: Serious
System: Debian, kernel 2.6.21-2 amd64, x86_64
Two levels of bug:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
LEVEL 1: At boot time
a) "cat /dev/null: Permission denied" is written during the boot
[When booting is done, going to a terminal and typing "cat /dev/null" is ok and
"ls -l /dev/null" gives
"crw -rw---- root root /dev/null"]
b) KDE log screen appears but after writing password, I cannot log under KDE.
c) This problem is SOLVED by going to a terminal and doing:
cd /dev
chmod a+rw /dev/null
chmod a+rw /dev/urandom
chmod a+rw /dev/random
(This has to be done at each reboot)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEVEL 2: Konsole refuse to open a terminal (pty problems).
Once booted, no access to a xterm or a Konsole
a) The reason is that "Konsole" cannot open a pty
b) pty devices do not exist in /dev
c) I cannot create the devices by hand because doing in /dev, "MAKEDEV pty"
gives
"udev is active, devices will be created in /dev/.static/pty
So nothing created in /dev and the problem is still here.
d) I cannot copy the devices from /dev/.static/pty/ to /dev.
"cp /dev/.static/pty/* /dev" gives (french to english translation) "Can't open
pty* to read: no peripheric or address"

Obviously the permissions are wrong.

Again, looks like you broke your system.
cd /etc/udev/rules.d/
ln -s ../permissions.rules 020_permissions.rules
And check that you did not remove other important links or files from
the directory.

They are not supposed to.

Feature.

Not knowing how to use cp is not an udev bug.
