hi

Howto get udevinfo command working on squeeze, which package should be installed?

Package is udev but the command now has been replaced by

Code:

udevadm info [options]

that is the various commands have been unified into one command.

Code:

udevinfo is missing in Squeeze. So, use "udevadm info" instead

but knows someone howto find out the name of the driver using udevadm, for example:

Code:

# udevadm -a -p /dev/input/event0 | grep DRIVER
udevadm: invalid option -- 'a'

I think udevadm with the --info option obsoletes udevinfo

Hello,

Have a look at the udevadm man page:

Code:

man udevadm

more in particular:

Code:

udevadm info --query=ALL --path=/dev/block

for example gives you information about block devices.

Kind regards,

Eric

Thx, but it doesn't work on my squeeze:

Code:

# udevadm info --query=ALL --path=/dev/block
unknown query type

Hi,

So sorry, it should be all instead of ALL. Have a look at the man page for udevadm, there's all the information you might need.

Code:

udevadm info --query=all --path=/dev/block

Kind regards,

Eric
