Hi group, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
New gentoo won't let me symlink device like so: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
#ln -s /dev/parport0 /dev/lp0 |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Google says create file |
| 8 |
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules |
| 9 |
containing the line |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
KERNEL=="parport0" NAME="lp0" |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Which creates the device no problem. However |
| 14 |
/dev/parport0 is no more and |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
#udevinfo -a -p /dev/parport0 |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
*and* |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
#udevinfot -a -p /dev/lp0 |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
come up "device not found". Not complaining too |
| 23 |
strenuously but curious. Is this normal behaviour? |
| 24 |
Seems strange. Why the actual device and no symlink? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Another thing: from 50-udev.rules |
| 27 |
<...> |
| 28 |
# lp devices |
| 29 |
KERNEL=="lp*", NAME="%k", GROUP="lp" |
| 30 |
KERNEL=="irlpt", NAME="%k", GROUP="lp" |
| 31 |
KERNEL=="usblp", NAME="%k", GROUP="lp" |
| 32 |
KERNEL=="lp*", NAME="%k", GROUP="lp" |
| 33 |
KERNEL=="parport*", NAME="%k", GROUP="lp" |
| 34 |
<...> |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Why doesn't that last line take care of the problem. |
| 37 |
Is it meant only as a template? |
| 38 |
