| bgstack15 | I'm struggling to update my eudev hwdb rules. All the docs out there talk about how to do it for systemd systems. | 00:55 |
|---|---|---|
| bgstack15 | I'm updating my /etc/udev/hwdb.d/60-macro-keyboard.hwdb file, and then running: | 00:55 |
| bgstack15 | sudo udevadm hwdb -u ; sudo udevadm control --reload ; sudo udevadm control --reload-rules ; sudo udevadm trigger /dev/input/event{22,23,24} | 00:55 |
| bgstack15 | Does anyone have any advice for me? | 00:56 |
| bgstack15 | I'm trying to write a custom hwdb file for a small keyboard (9 keys). I think however that merely updating the hwdb is the problem! | 00:56 |
| rrq | maybe it should ge before 60-keyboard.hwdb ? | 00:58 |
| rrq | ge=go | 00:58 |
| rrq | like 59-macro-keyboard.hwdb | 00:59 |
| bgstack15 | alas, does not make a difference. | 01:02 |
| bgstack15 | I can't even get to the part where I map the keys correctly yet! It's stuck on trying to identify the silly device. | 01:02 |
| rrq | I think hwdb.bin gets generated somehow and that's what udev will use | 01:03 |
| rrq | ie /lib/udev/hwdb.bin | 01:04 |
| bgstack15 | ah, is it possible that because the default behavior of "udevadm hwdb -u" is to update the /etc hwdb,bin file, that udevadm is still just using only the /usr/lib/udev/hwdb.bin file? | 01:04 |
| rrq | according to eudev.postinst it couuld be: udevadm hwdb --usr --update | 01:05 |
| bgstack15 | So somehow my matching rule still just isn't working. | 01:06 |
| bgstack15 | Thanks for the guidance on the /usr and /etc stuff! | 01:06 |
| rrq | ok; ftr it's /lib/udev/hwdb.bin :) | 01:07 |
| bgstack15 | ah | 01:07 |
| rrq | maybe you have too many links at / | 01:07 |
| bgstack15 | not symlinked /usr stuff? | 01:07 |
| bgstack15 | I dislike the whole discussion about /usr-merge. It has only confused me. | 01:08 |
| bgstack15 | I ended up not solving my udev hwdb problem. Thankfully, the little macro keyboard I was trying to map has a little Windows utility that lets you remap the keys. It actually changes the keycodes it emits. | 04:30 |
| systemdlete | So I am running into an (apparently) very old bug: [drm:radeon_cs_ioctl [radeon]] *ERROR* Failed to parse relocation -12! (see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49981) | 22:03 |
| systemdlete | I am not sure what to do about this. Re-opening the bug, which is supposedly fixed, way back in 2012, seems like necroposting in a way. | 22:04 |
| systemdlete | Haven't seen this problem before, but it is causing programs to crash when I use my electronic kvms (keyboard-video-mouse switch). When I return to the machine in question, a program has crashed. | 22:05 |
